52 here and all but #5 are hitting me. Shite.
Well—could be any one of a number of things. Article clearly states (and I'll second) that this isn't a comprehensive checklist that points only to dementia.
I'm not going to say what else it might be, as there are so many possibilities. That could generate a raft of options for a total hypochondriac meltdown set of things to worry about.
I will add that partner's medical & psych team ran through a whole bunch of other options, and none of the obvious meds, counseling, physical tests seemed to help or point anywhere else.
It's a list to pursue seriously with healthcare providers, though.
