Memory problems can happen for many reasons—some short-term, some long-lasting. Early signs might be small or easy to overlook, but noticing them can make a big difference. If you or a loved one begin to experience changes like:
It’s okay to ask for help. You don’t have to face these changes alone. Talking with a healthcare provider can bring answers and support that make a real difference.

We offer advanced treatments to help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. We were the first in the Boston area to provide Donanemab infusion therapy, and now we also offer Lecanemab at all four of our infusion clinics. These new therapies are designed to help people with Alzheimer’s live better and feel more comfortable during treatment.
Memory loss can happen for many reasons. Sometimes it’s caused by things like stress, lack of sleep, vitamin deficiencies (like low B12) or certain medications. These causes can often be treated or improved. But memory loss can also be a sign of a brain condition like Alzheimer’s or other types of dementia. That’s why it’s important to see a doctor who can find out what’s really going on.
As we get older, it’s normal to forget things occasionally—like misplacing your keys or forgetting a name for a moment. This doesn’t usually get in the way of daily life. Memory problems become more concerning if they happen often and start affecting things like driving, managing money or keeping track of appointments. If memory changes make everyday tasks harder or cause confusion, it’s a good idea to get checked.
Sometimes, yes. If memory loss is caused by something like a vitamin deficiency, thyroid problems, medication side effects or depression, treating those issues can help improve memory. However, for diseases like Alzheimer’s or other dementias, there is no cure yet. But early diagnosis and care can slow down symptoms and improve quality of life.
Early signs can be easy to miss but may include forgetting recent events, asking the same questions repeatedly, trouble finding the right words, difficulty completing familiar tasks, mood changes, confusion about time or place and withdrawing from social activities. If you or a loved one notice these changes, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider.
Start by encouraging them to see a doctor for a full evaluation. Be patient and understanding—it can be frustrating or scary for them. Help by creating simple daily routines, using reminders like notes or alarms and making the home safe and easy to navigate. Taking care of yourself is also important—caregiving can be stressful and support is available for you too.
While some memory problems can’t be prevented, there are steps you can take to support brain health. Stay physically active, eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep, avoid smoking, manage chronic conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure, stay socially connected and keep your mind engaged with puzzles, reading or learning new skills. Early screening helps catch issues sooner.
Testing often includes memory and thinking assessments, physical exams, blood tests to check for vitamin or thyroid problems, brain imaging to look for changes like strokes or tumors and sometimes spinal fluid tests or genetic tests. These help doctors find the cause of memory changes and decide on the best care.
Treatment depends on the cause. For some conditions, medicines can help manage symptoms or slow progression. Supportive therapies can help with mood, sleep and daily function. Clinical trials may offer access to new treatments. Caregivers also receive guidance and support to help them manage challenges.
Clinical trials test new treatments that may improve memory or slow the disease. Our team can help determine if you’re eligible and explain what participation involves. Joining a trial helps advance research and may give you access to cutting-edge care.
Caregivers play a vital role and need support, too. We offer training, emotional support and practical tips to help you care for your loved one while taking care of yourself. Connecting with support groups and community resources can also make a big difference.
From regular office visits to inpatient stays, find the healthcare you need and deserve close to home.
