Just forgetful, or more? On World Alzheimer’s Day

“Forgetful or more?” is written in large white letters on a green background in the upper part of the image; below it, in smaller letters: “World Alzheimer’s Day, September 21.” Below that is a photo taken from behind: An older woman with white curls and a gray knit sweater is sitting at a wooden table, next to her a younger woman with long brown hair and an olive-green sweater. The younger woman is holding the older woman’s hand; both are looking at each other. On the table are a potted plant and a glass; in the background is a bright living room with a wooden cabinet, a houseplant, and a window. In the center of the image is a white circle with a green arrow pointing to the right, indicating to scroll forward, and below it are five dots for more images. In the lower right corner, on a white background, is the logo of the Familienpraxis Tirol, featuring stylized figures and houses.“Lost your train of thought for a moment?” reads the green headline on a white card with rounded corners. Below it, the text reads: “Forgetting a name, misplacing your keys, losing your train of thought for a moment—everyone has been there. It’s completely normal when you’re stressed, haven’t slept well, or are in the midst of a lot of hustle and bustle.” In the top left corner, on a green field, is the white text “Perfectly normal”; in the top right corner, inside a green circle, is the number 2. The background is light, featuring curved green and gray areas and delicate leaf motifs. Below the card are six dots pointing to additional images; in the bottom right corner, on a white field, is the Familienpraxis Tirol logo featuring stylized figures and houses.“When It Might Be More” appears as a green headline on a white card with rounded corners. Below it, the text reads: “When familiar paths suddenly seem unfamiliar, words are consistently missing, or everyday tasks become difficult—and this worsens over the course of weeks.” In the upper left corner, on a green field, is the white inscription “Take a Closer Look”; in the upper right corner, inside a green circle, is the number 3. The background is light, featuring curved green and dark gray areas and delicate leaf motifs. Below the card are six dots pointing to additional images; in the lower right corner, on a white field, is the Familienpraxis Tirol logo featuring stylized figures and houses.“It’s worth asking early” is written in green as a headline on a white card with rounded corners. Below it, the text reads: “Early assessment means: identifying treatable causes, gaining clarity, and planning calmly. Even if, in the end, everything turns out to be harmless.” In the upper left corner, on a green field, is the white text “Get Clarity Early”; in the upper right corner, inside a green circle, is the number 4. The background is light, featuring curved green and dark gray areas and delicate leaf motifs. Below the card are six dots pointing to additional images; in the lower right corner, on a white field, is the Familienpraxis Tirol logo featuring stylized figures and houses.“The Mini-Mental Test” appears as a green headline on a white card with rounded corners. Below it is the text: “A short test with simple questions and tasks: orientation, word recall, math, language, and drawing. It takes just a few minutes, and we can administer it right here in our practice. It is not a substitute for a diagnosis, but it provides an initial indication.” In the upper left corner, on a green field, is the white text “At the practice”; in the upper right corner, inside a green circle, is the number 5. The background is light, featuring curved green and dark gray areas and delicate leaf motifs. Below the card are six dots pointing to additional images; in the lower right corner, on a white field, is the Familienpraxis Tirol logo featuring stylized figures and houses.“Talk to us” is written in large white letters on a green background at the top of the image, with smaller text below it: “Are you worried about yourself or someone you care for? Come see us—we’ll take the time to listen.” Below that is a white card with contact information: “Phone” in green on the left, “05332 25900” on the right, with “Web” on the left and “www.familienpraxis.tirol” on the right below that. The background is light, featuring curved green and dark gray areas and delicate leaf motifs. Below the card are six dots, the last of which is highlighted; in the lower right corner, on a white field, is the logo of Familienpraxis Tirol with stylized figures and houses.

Today is World Alzheimer’s Day. 💜

Forgetting a name, misplacing your keys, or momentarily losing your train of thought—everyone has experienced this, and most of the time it’s harmless. It just happens when you’re stressed, haven’t slept well, or things get hectic.

You should take notice if familiar routes suddenly seem unfamiliar, words are consistently forgotten, or everyday tasks become difficult—and if these symptoms worsen over the course of weeks.

The first step is a consultation at our practice. Often, there’s an easily treatable underlying cause: stress, depression, a vitamin deficiency, or a thyroid disorder.

We can administer the Mini-Mental Test right here at our practice: a short test with simple questions and tasks related to orientation, memory, math, language, and drawing. It takes only a few minutes, isn’t a substitute for a diagnosis, but provides an initial indication—and helps you decide whether further evaluation is advisable.

Are you worried about yourself or someone you care for? Talk to us—we’ll make time for you.

Your team at Familienpraxis Tirol 💚
