π§ π Could It Be More Than Just Forgetfulness?
Early signs of dementia and Alzheimer's disease are often subtle and may gradually begin to affect everyday life. Recognising the signs early can make a meaningful difference.
Some early warning signs include:
π©΅ Short-term memory loss, such as forgetting recent conversations or asking the same questions repeatedly.
π©΅ Difficulty planning or solving familiar tasks, like following a recipe or managing finances.
π©΅ Struggling with everyday activities that were once routine.
π©΅ Confusion with time, dates, seasons, or familiar places.
π©΅ Difficulty finding the right words or following conversations.
π©΅ Changes in mood or personality, including increased anxiety, confusion, suspicion, or irritability.
If you notice these changes in a loved one, don't ignore them. Seeking professional advice early can provide support, guidance, and access to the right care.
