Get tested.
It could be cholesterol or a restricted carotid reducing blood flow to the brain, or a mini stroke, or any number of other things.
Alzheimer's is the best known known type of dementia, but there are actually a hundred different kinds.
Drugs that work for Alzheimer's are actually detrimental for Lewie Bodies (the second most common at 20%). Pot may slow the onset.
Alzheimer's is a long slow mental slide, while L.B. is a 2-5 year roller coaster drop with the symptoms of Parkinson's added on.
