Worried about memory loss? Free screenings this month in OKC
An estimated 5.4 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer’s disease, including thousands of people who live in Oklahoma.
As people age, the concern becomes — Am I becoming forgetful because that’s what happens when people age, or am I in the early stages of dementia?
This month, you or your loved one can sign up for a free memory loss screening.
Before the screenings, Vicki Escajeda, of Integris Mental Health, will discuss issues related to memory loss, including the early detection and treatment of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease.
Dementia is a loss of brain function that occurs with certain disease, such as Alzheimer’s disease. It affects memory, thinking and behavior.
