  • What’s the difference between the memory loss of normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease?
  • What tests can be performed to assess memory?
  • If it’s Alzheimer’s, how does the physician tell you?
  • What treatments are available?
  • What else can the doctor do to help you or your family?
  • What Alzheimer's clinical trials are available in the area?
  • What resources are available to the family?
