There are many known causes, ranging from Alzheimer’s to depression or vitamin and nutrition deficiencies. A free memory screening only takes 15 minutes and can indicate if you might benefit from a more comprehensive evaluation. This screen is not used to diagnose illness and should not be used in place of physician consultation.
