While memory loss is a symptom of dementia, memory loss alone does not necessarily indicate that a person has it. Often, symptoms include significantly impaired intellectual functioning that interferes with normal activities and relationships, loss of ability to solve problems, and loss of ability to maintain emotional control.
However, these symptoms can vary, depending on the condition that's causing dementia. For example, Alzheimer's disease is a common cause of dementia.
Sometimes, older people have emotional problems that can be mistaken for dementia symptoms. Adapting to events such as retirement or the death of a spouse can lead to feelings of sadness, loneliness, or worry, and this can leave some people feeling confused or forgetful.
