Rectangle 8

Overview

Dementia is a general term for a range of symptoms that affect memory, language, problem-solving, and behavior. Among the various forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent, particularly in older adults. Alzheimer’s is a specific brain disorder characterized by progressive memory loss and cognitive decline, gradually impairing a person’s ability to perform everyday tasks.

Early signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s include difficulty with everyday tasks, poor concentration, and trouble finishing tasks. Individuals may repeatedly ask the same questions or tell the same story, struggle with communication, and have trouble joining or following conversations. Other indicators are getting lost, confusion about time and place, and noticeable personality changes such as increased anxiety, fearfulness, or mood swings. If these symptoms are observed, consulting a medical expert for a thorough evaluation is crucial.
