That’s a very good question. There are different types of memory loss diseases, but the most popular and touching our society more and more is the Alzheimer’s disease – in his disease you’re losing your memory but also slowly, your independence and without treatment it leads to death. You can read more about this disease here – http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Computational_models_of_Alzheimer%27s_disease .
We currently don’t have drugs that treat this disease or slow its development, but there are many therapies that help with the bad changes in behaviour and in mental functions. You can read more about these, for example, https://www.alz.org/alzheimers-dementia/treatments .
