Recognising the Signs
In the beginning, dementia may appear as small lapses in memory or changes in behaviour. But over time, these can become more noticeable. Some early signs to watch for include:
- Memory loss that affects day-to-day life such as forgetting recent conversations or misplacing items.
- Confusion about time or place, or getting lost in familiar surroundings.
- Difficulty finding words or following conversations.
- Changes in mood or personality, such as withdrawal, anxiety, or irritability.
- Struggling with routine tasks, like paying bills or managing appointments.
While everyone experiences forgetfulness from time to time, a consistent pattern of these behaviours could be an early indicator of dementia.
How Families Can Help
If you’re concerned about a loved one, approach the subject gently and with empathy. Encourage them to speak to their GP, who can arrange an assessment and discuss next steps. An early diagnosis can make a big difference, opening the door to treatment, advice, and support.
