November 18 is National Memory Screening Day. 
<Due to franchise directive, all mention of previous name must be removed> is pleased to offer free memory screenings at the Borders bookstore at 200 King street.
Just as you take a physical regularly, it is also important to take a 'mental' to see if you are at risk for dementias such as Alzheimer's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, Vascular dementia, or Frontotemporal dementia.
While many say "I don't want to know", actually it is very important to know.
Why? The dementias mentioned above are generally very long onset afflictions - lasting as long as 20 years from onset to late stage.
The presently available treatments only slow decline - thus knowing you are at risk or afflicted early can mean many more years of living with dignity.
In addition, there are lifestyle choices clinically shown to reduce the chances of being afflicted with a dementia or shown to slow decline.
If you think this isn't important, then consider: One consequence of late stage dementia is not only not knowing where the bathroom is, or what the bathroom is, but not knowing what to do once you get there.
Life with dignity is still possible even if you are afflicted with Alzheimer's.
