Dementia – we all fear it, as we get older, maybe when we misplace our keys, or forget someone’s name, or walk into a room and forget why we’re there…..but is that a sign of a more serious problem?  Is all memory loss a symptom of Alzheimers? If early identification is the key, then how do you know if you are at risk? Is it genetic?

Here to answer that question and more is Dr. Kore Liow from Hawai‘i Pacific Neuroscience institute located at Castle Medical Center. He’s a neurologist who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of dementia.
