According to a new Canadian study, just because someone has difficulty remembering things, it doesn’t necessarily mean that what they’re experiencing is a symptom of dementia. But, if the person is not aware of the memory loss (a condition called anosognosia), then they are more likely to progress to Alzheimer’s disease.
