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

If this sounds familiar, Novant Health has expert neurology care that can help.
