Are Episodes Of Memory Loss Signs Of Dementia?
My husband has had 2 episodes in the last 4 months that last for the entire day. One of the days was in March and the 2nd day was in June. He usually wakes up with memory issues and it lasts the whole day until he goes to sleep. He is very aware of the memory issues. The day in June lasted the whole day and part of the next morning. Once the episodes are gone he seems to be back to normal. Is this the start of dementia?

* In dementia if a ability is lost means ...Its lost .No fluctations
*here it appears something else
*Get a screening with Neurologist
*if found to be normal it can be Dissociative Amnesia where stress plays a major role. Identification of stress & mangement of the same will improve the state
Thank you
