What Causes Poor Memory?
My husband has been complaining of memory issues for about 18 mo. Have been to our physician and he does not see Alzheimer s or dementia. My husband is convinced he has one of these. Friends and our children say things like he seems lost, he is in his own world, he is checked out . He had open heart surgery three years ago and is 57 yrs old. I think it is depression, but my husband thinks it is something more serious. (I know depression is serious) I am frustrated and irritated by him and I feel badly about that. I do not feel like he is proactive about this situation.
