Secondary Prevention

Patients whose memory loss is bothersome to the extent that it becomes an issue are encouraged to establish a routine and follow it. Making lists and associations, keeping a detailed calendar as well as always putting important objects in the same place might help them in remembering things quickly and more easily. People who develop mild symptoms of memory loss are more likely to prevent the worsening of the condition if they train their mind by playing strategy games, puzzles, word games, number puzzles or by reading. Basically, stimulating the brain can help patients slow down the processes that lead to memory loss.

Memory loss among seniors is not inevitable, but is a normal occurrence for many as the brain slows down. This is not the same thing as dementia. Mental functions involving normal activities, life experiences, common sense, and the ability to form reasonable judgments and arguments are not affected.
