We've all forgotten a name, where we put our keys, or if we locked the front door. It's normal to forget things once in a while. However, forgetting how to make change, use the telephone, or find your way home may be signs of a more serious memory problem.
 

This booklet will help you learn about:

• the difference between mild forgetfulness and more serious memory problems
• causes of memory problems and how they can be treated
• how to cope with serious memory problems
