It also notes that major changes in memory are not normal at any age.<\/p>\n<p>The table below gives a general idea of the difference. It is a guide only, and everyone is different. What matters most is change from your own usual level, and whether that change is affecting your daily life.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>More typical of everyday forgetting<\/th>\n<th>Worth getting checked<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Forgetting a name, then remembering it later<\/td>\n<td>Often forgetting names of people you know well<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Misplacing your glasses now and then<\/td>\n<td>Regularly losing things and being unable to retrace your steps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Missing an appointment when very busy<\/td>\n<td>Repeatedly missing appointments or bills despite reminders<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Walking into a room and forgetting why<\/td>\n<td>Getting lost in a familiar place<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Needing more time to learn a new device<\/td>\n<td>Struggling with familiar tasks, such as cooking a usual meal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Occasionally searching for a word<\/td>\n<td>Often losing track of conversations or repeating the same story or question<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Signs it may be time to get your memory tested<\/h2>\n<p>Consider talking to a professional if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>memory or thinking changes are affecting work, study, driving, money or home life<\/li>\n<li>the changes are getting worse over months<\/li>\n<li>family, friends or colleagues have noticed and mentioned it<\/li>\n<li>you have had a head injury, stroke, serious illness, surgery or cancer treatment and your thinking has not returned to normal<\/li>\n<li>you are finding it harder to plan, organise, make decisions or follow instructions<\/li>\n<li>there have been changes in personality, mood or behaviour alongside memory problems<\/li>\n<li>you are worried, and the worry itself is affecting your wellbeing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>healthdirect advises seeing your doctor if memory problems are affecting daily life, and getting checked as soon as you notice a problem.<\/p>\n<h3>When it is urgent<\/h3>\n<p>Confusion that comes on suddenly, over hours or days, is different. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthdirect.gov.au\/cognitive-impairment\">healthdirect<\/a> notes that delirium usually starts suddenly. Sudden confusion can be caused by infection, medicines, dehydration, stroke or other medical problems. Seek medical help straight away, and call 000 in an emergency.<\/p>\n<h2>Common causes that are not dementia<\/h2>\n<p>Memory problems have many possible causes. healthdirect lists depression, stress, anxiety, traumatic brain injury, medicine side effects, alcohol use and some infections among them. Other common contributors include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>poor sleep, including sleep apnoea and insomnia<\/li>\n<li>chronic pain and fatigue<\/li>\n<li>hormone changes, such as during menopause<\/li>\n<li>low levels of some vitamins, which blood tests can check<\/li>\n<li>hearing or vision loss, which make it harder to take information in<\/li>\n<li>ADHD, which can cause lifelong difficulty with attention and working memory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Treating the underlying condition may help improve memory. That is one reason it is worth getting checked rather than waiting.<\/p>\n<h3>Mild cognitive impairment and dementia<\/h3>\n<p>Some people have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), where memory or thinking has changed more than expected for their age but they can still manage daily life. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dementia.org.au\/brain-health\/mild-cognitive-impairment-mci\">Dementia Australia<\/a> notes that people with MCI are more likely to develop dementia, but a substantial proportion stay stable or even improve.<\/p>\n<p>Dementia is common. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aihw.gov.au\/reports\/dementia\/dementia-in-aus\/contents\/summary\">Australian Institute of Health and Welfare<\/a> estimates there were 439,000 Australians living with dementia in 2025. It is not only a condition of older age, as younger onset dementia can begin before 65.<\/p>\n<h2>What getting your memory tested involves<\/h2>\n<h3>Before you see your GP<\/h3>\n<p>A little preparation makes the appointment more useful. Try to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>write down specific examples of what you have noticed, and when it started<\/li>\n<li>note whether things are stable, getting worse, or come and go<\/li>\n<li>bring a list of all your medicines, including supplements and over-the-counter products<\/li>\n<li>ask a family member or friend to come, or to write down what they have noticed<\/li>\n<li>book a longer appointment if you can, so there is time to talk it through<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Step 1: Your GP<\/h3>\n<p>Your GP will ask about your symptoms and health, review your medicines, and may do a short screening test of memory and thinking. They may arrange blood and urine tests and a brain scan, such as a CT or MRI, to look for treatable causes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Specialist review<\/h3>\n<p>Depending on the findings, your GP may refer you to a geriatrician, neurologist, psychiatrist or memory clinic.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Neuropsychological assessment<\/h3>\n<p>Brief screening tests are quick and useful for flagging a concern, but they are not designed to describe memory in detail and may miss subtle changes. A neuropsychological assessment takes longer and measures memory, attention, language, speed of thinking, visual skills and planning in detail. It compares your results with people of a similar age and background, and considers mood, sleep and health.<\/p>\n<p>The results can help:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>show whether changes are within the expected range for your age<\/li>\n<li>identify patterns that point towards particular causes<\/li>\n<li>set a baseline, so any future change can be measured<\/li>\n<li>guide practical strategies and supports<\/li>\n<li>inform planning, such as work, driving and legal arrangements<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Why checking early is worthwhile<\/h2>\n<p>People sometimes delay because they fear what they might hear. Checking early has real benefits, whatever the outcome:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Treatable causes can be found and treated.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Reassurance.<\/strong> Many people learn their memory is within the normal range, which can ease worry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Brain health.<\/strong> Dementia Australia reports that the 2024 Lancet Commission identified 14 modifiable risk factors, including hearing loss, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, depression and social isolation, and estimated that up to 45% of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A baseline.<\/strong> Even when results are in the normal range, they give you a point of comparison if your memory changes later.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time to plan.<\/strong> If a condition such as dementia is found, early diagnosis gives you time to make your own decisions about the future.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For free information and support, you can call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500.<\/p>\n<h2>How Invictus Health can help<\/h2>\n<p>Our neuropsychologists offer <a href=\"\/services\/neuropsychology-assessments\/\">neuropsychology assessments<\/a> for people with memory or thinking concerns.

Stress and anxiety take up mental resources and make it harder to pay attention, which affects how well information is stored and recalled. Depression can have similar effects. These memory problems often improve when the stress, anxiety or depression is treated.
