Is Dementia a part of ageing?
It is common to notice forgetfulness in elderly loved ones, or their difficulty in finding the right words. But when should we start to worry? According to Dr. Sándor Ilniczky, a neurologist at Dr. Rose Private Hospital, such signs should not be dismissed.
“If an elderly person complains of forgetfulness or cognitive difficulties, it cannot simply be attributed to ageing,” emphasizes the neurologist. This concern is one of the reasons why Dr. Rose Private Hospital has developed its Dementia Prevention Program.
