Doctors know well that the holidays bring an upturn in families noticing worrisome signs of memory loss in older adults. No disrespect to Santa intended, but Jolly Old St. Nick also shows a worrisome number of not-so-jolly potential symptoms of dementia.
Some of Santa’s warning signs include:
- Making that list and checking it twice
- Wearing the same clothes over and over
- Needing a red-nosed reindeer to direct him on the same route he’s driven for years
That is a very funny article, great way to relate it back to your area of focus! Merry Christmas to the both of you! Wishing you nothing but tons of success in 2012!
Thanks, Matt! We hope you have a wonderful holiday, too.
