One important thing to know:👉 Getting older does NOT automatically mean getting dementia

Yes - our brains can slow down a little with age.You might:• Take longer to remember names• Misplace the odd item• Occasionally forget a birthday
That can be normal and is called age-associated memory change.

Memory sits on a spectrum:Normal memory → Age-related changes → Mild cognitive impairment → Dementia
Nearly 40% of people over 65 notice some memory changes — but most do not develop dementia.

🧩 Dementia is different.It’s a medical condition that affects:• Memory• Thinking and planning• Language• Mood or behaviour
And these changes are significant enough to interfere with daily life.

✨ Take-home message:Some memory changes are normal as we age.Ageing ≠ dementia.But persistent or worsening problems that affect day-to-day life deserve a chat with your GP.
