Walking into a room and forgetting why. Searching for a word that was right on the tip of the tongue. Putting the keys down and not remembering where. Small moments like these are common, and for many people they seem to happen a little more often with age.

Meet Helen

Helen, 58, started noticing small lapses: a name she could not recall, a message she forgot to send, a story she lost halfway through telling. Like many people, she wondered what might be behind it and decided to learn more about the topic.

(Helen is an illustrative character, not a testimonial.)
