Memory loss treatments discovered

From BBC News:

Mental stimulation and drug treatment could help people with degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer's recover their memories, a study says.

Scientists found mice with a similar condition to Alzheimer's were able to regain memories of tasks they had previously been taught.

This is great news for Alzheimer's sufferers. And given that our sense of identity is tied up intimately with our memory, could the following conversation be heard in doctors' surgeries in a few years?

Patient: "Doctor, doctor, I feel like my identity is disappearing, I just can't remember who I am or who anyone else is. Who are you, by the way?"

Doctor: "Don't worry, just take four Identilux daily with a glass of water and you'll be right as rain in no time!"
