Note:
According to D. Warner Schaie, while minor memory lapses
and some slowing of mental processes are normal aspects of
the aging process, in some people they could be early signs
of depression or dementia. Individuals who have serious
concerns about memory losses or losses in other cognitive
skills should seek professional help from a psychologist or
psychiatrist.
