Scientists note that age and family predisposition increase the risk of this disease, and knowledge of the first symptoms helps to start controlling the process in time.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Newsyou.
Early signs of dementia often go unnoticed because they can be perceived as natural changes associated with aging.
“Failure to recognize early symptoms often means the disease goes undiagnosed for years,” experts say.
According to scientists from the Social Security Institute of Excellence, forgetfulness that begins to affect work, family and social life should be a warning sign. For example, a person may not just forget where they put things, but also completely lose understanding of their purpose.
Common examples include trips to the store, where a person forgets what they wanted to buy, or the inability to remember recent events, what they read or saw. Difficulty recognizing familiar faces may also appear.
Another important sign of dementia is a change in behavior and communication with others. If a person becomes more withdrawn, avoids conversations and is less interested in events in their family or at work, this may indicate the development of the disease. In addition, patients with dementia may not notice that they repeat the same questions or phrases, have difficulty finding words, and react poorly to the speech of interlocutors.
Identifying these signs at an early stage allows you to promptly seek medical help and take measures to improve your quality of life.
