‘Signs of dementia’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 




Here are 10 common Signs of dementia:

1.       Memory Loss: Forgetfulness that disrupts daily life, such as forgetting recently learned information, important dates, or events.

2.       Difficulty with Familiar Tasks: Struggling to complete familiar tasks, like following a recipe or managing finances that were once easy and routine.

3.       Confusion: Disorientation in time and space, such as getting lost in familiar places or forgetting how they got there.

4.       Trouble with Language: Difficulty finding the right words, following conversations, or understanding speech.

5.       Impaired Judgment: Poor decision-making or judgment, such as giving away large sums of money to strangers or neglecting personal hygiene.

6.       Difficulty with Abstract Thinking: Struggling with abstract concepts and tasks that require planning, organizing, or problem-solving.

7.       Misplacing Items: Putting items in unusual places and being unable to retrace steps to find them.

8.       Mood Changes: Experiencing sudden changes in mood or personality, like becoming more agitated, suspicious, or fearful.

9.       Loss of Initiative: Showing a lack of interest in activities they once enjoyed or withdrawing from social engagements and hobbies.

10.   Changes in Visual Perception: Difficulty interpreting visual information, leading to problems with balance, judging distances, or recognizing objects and faces.

It's important to note that experiencing one or more of these symptoms doesn't necessarily mean a person has dementia, but if you or someone you know is experiencing these signs, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.
