When the doctors reduced a medication that she was taking for her neuropathy, her memory miraculously improved.” Wasserman said that after decades of seeing patients with memory loss, and having seen what he took to be evidence of cognitive impairment on the part of former President Reagan while he still held office, he doesn’t think either Biden or Trump have dementia. The important word is ‘subtle,’ as most of the time, changes associated with memory loss are slow.providing us with advance notice of what one might face down the line,” Dorio said. “When we see a public person like the president…we are only allowed a small peek into his neurologic makeup.We don’t get to see how he interacts behind the scenes with family members, friends, and those in government.” For anyone who’s worried about the health of a loved one, Dorio offered a list of changes to keep an eye on, from the dramatic to more gradual signs of decline.
