Part 2 Lesson 2: When there is cause for concern

In this lesson we continue our discussion of normal aging and focusing on how it affects our brain function and its emotional toll. I will also cover how to tell when some changes might be a sign of something more serious.

With normal aging our brains and cognitive or thinking skills will slow down, become inefficient but disease or disorders of the brain will destroy or impair these skills which is VERY different.

An aging brain will have you forget where you left your keys a diseased brain will have you believe someone moved or took them. In the early stages of the disease process this difference can be quite subtle and difficult to distinguish. But as the disease progresses it will become too obvious to ignore.
