Memory Loss Could Be Caused By Your Meds, Not Your Age – 10
New research is showing a connection between memory loss and medication for insomnia and anxiety. 90% of people over the age of 65 take at least one medication and many take more than one which increases their chances of drug reactions. The article discusses tests that were done on certain medicines and the connections they have to memory loss. It also talks about how important it is that people know about this connection. That is what makes this story newsworthy. It effects a lot of people, especially over the age of 65. I also thought it was interesting at the end of the article it was mentioned that there are a variety of things that can cause memory loss. Then, in the last paragraph, out of all the other thing they could have chosen to discuss they choose sex and the impact it can have on memory. I thought this was an off topic choice and an odd way to end the story.
