A member asked:
Is it possible to slowly lose your intelligence without "knowing" it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes if subtle: Most people naturally have slowly impaired cognition as they age. However, if the cognitive deficits occur earlier or more aggressively than normal, then a dementing process may be occurring. Keep your brain healthy with proper diet, exercise, reading, avoiding drugs/smoking/alcohol. If you are concerned, see your physician. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3885/
