What are the symptoms of dementia?
human
Hi, I am 67 yrs. old, full time employed and in good health. my supervisor thinks I should be tested for dementia because some said I for get things sometimes ( who doesn t ? ) I do not agree and don t think I should have to go through that. I read up on dementia and it would be a real pain to satisfy a unsubstantiated request. Any ideas? Thanks

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As you are confident about your health no need to worry about dementia. Forgetting few things on a daily basis is a routine. After all, we are humans, not machines. In the worst case, you can consult a Psychiatrist who tests your memory with a simple questionnaire which makes you clear and you can confidently tell your boss about your score. I hope I have cleared your doubt. Feel free to ask further questions.
