Have her evaluated: Forgetfulness can occur in many medical conditions including some neurological and psychiatric disorders. Hrt has been shown in some studies to decrease risk of dementia which is associated with forgetfulness. If your mother's symptom is new or started with initiation of her hrt, let her prescribing physician know.
