I came across this article today - published in Real Simple. The article is about recognizing the signs of dementia and obviously comes at an opportune time as many of us will be celebrating Christmas with our older friends and relative. Most importantly, the article points out that there is a need to have memory problems checked out by doctors because one-third of the time the cause is something other than dementia.
Plus - a link to the Aardman animation about Santa Claus having dementia from Alzheimer's Research UK.
