Abstract
Patients complaining of memory loss present a complex diagnostic challenge to the physician. The physician must evaluate the patient's mood disturbance, medical condition, lifestyle and drug use as potential contributors to memory loss. An interview strategy focused on these factors may help the physician identify patients who simply need information and reassurance, patients who may benefit from new or revised treatment plans and patients who should undergo more comprehensive assessment.
