For many older adults, subtle shifts — like feeling unsteady or more forgetful — can raise fears of dementia or Parkinson’s. But there’s another possibility: normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH), a condition that’s often mistaken for other disorders but may be treatable.
Signs to watch for include:
- Difficulty walking or frequent falls
- Memory problems
- Loss of bladder control
