According to neurologists, Alzheimer’s is not simply a condition of occasional forgetfulness. It is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, reasoning and the ability to perform everyday activities. Dr. Kapil Agarwal, Director and HOD, Neurology, Shalby International Hospital, explains that occasional forgetfulness can be a normal part of ageing. “However, repeated or worsening memory problems that disrupt daily functioning warrant greater attention,” he said.
