I had a college professor say this:

If you forget your keys, then that’s just forgetting.

But if you forget what keys are for, that’s dementia.

You can go on line and learn everything there is to know about dementia. Dementia is an umbrella term, for all forms of dementia, Alzheimer's is just one of very many.

There is a lot of information on line, on YouTube, and many good books. Maybe start with Teepa Snow on YouTube.

Do you see other signs? Do you know all the signs? Has this been happening more and more.

I would suggest learn everything you can, then start a daily journal, to write down all the things you see, to share with the doctor.


Best of luck, Lukee, if you have more questions, more information would get better answers.

Alzheimer's IS dementia; it is a kind of dementia; speak with your doctor for more specifics about seeking a diagnosis for hubby, and welcome to the forum.

Alzheimer's is one of the many forms of dementia. They are not 2 separate things, just FYI.
If you are concerned about your husband make an appointment with his doctor and have them check him out. And of course you can let his doctor know ahead of time via the patient portal or by handing them a note when you get to the office, about your concerns.
