Memory Loss ICD-10-CM Codes

Some degree of memory decline can be a normal part of aging, often referred to as age-related cognitive decline. However, a healthcare professional should evaluate significant or sudden memory loss, which may indicate an underlying medical or psychological condition.

Management of memory loss depends on the underlying cause; for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, medications and supportive care may be used. Therapy and stress management techniques can be helpful for memory issues related to stress or psychological factors. Lifestyle factors, including a healthy diet, regular exercise, and mental stimulation, can also support cognitive function.

If you or a loved one experiences significant or worsening memory loss, significantly if it interferes with daily life or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms.
