Forgetfulness doesn't always mean Alzheimer's
Many memory lapses are part of aging and don't signal Alzheimer's disease. Types of forgetfulness that usually aren't symptoms of dementia include forgetting names or details temporarily, misplacing objects but retracing steps to recover them, and occasional word retrieval problems. Signs of dementia include repeating questions and stories, getting lost on familiar routes, challenges with planning or solving problems, difficulty completing familiar tasks, new problems with words in speaking or writing, and withdrawing from social activities.
