Excellent Site with a clear explanation of the symptoms of dementia.

Guidelines on how drugs work with dementia.

http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/mentalhealthinformation/olderpeople/memoryanddementia.aspx

Site highlights problems with forgetfulness stressing that we all forget! To quote "Our memories are remarkable - faster than the most advanced computer - but we still forget things. We usually forget those things we don't really need to remember.".

It then outlines common problems that affect memory such as depression, anxiety and physical health. Very clear and concise. Excellent site deserving of 5 stars.
