What Causes Memory Problems To A 68 Year Old?
My husband has retired 5 years ago, only 68 years old. Has been forgetting everything. He has forgotten to pick up our grandchildren. Does not appear to be bothered by things. He wouldn t get off the couch and had our 9 year old grandson answer the front door alone, a strange man was at the door, and he still did not get up? It seems as if his conscience has totally left him. I need some help.

Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM, glad to answer your query.
Forgetfulness in an elderly man are suggestive of dementia.
Which could be due either age related senile dementia or Alzheimer's disease.
Take him to a neurologist for proper evaluation and treatment.
Best regards.
