Over the years, every man accumulates a large number of things he'd like to forget but can't, yet over the years, particularly in his advancing years, every man forgets things he'd like to remember. Forgetting names can be an embarrassment, misplacing eyeglasses a bother, losing car keys a real nuisance. But when the little lapses seem to mount up, they add another dimension: worry about 'losing it,' about severe mental impairment and Alzheimer's disease." (HARVARD MEN'S HEALTH WATCH) This article examines normal memory loss that occurs with age and addresses more severe forms of mental impairment, such as Alzheimer's disease.
