Symptoms That Can Predict Dementia Years Before Diagnosis

Temporary Memory Loss

When you can hardly remember things that happened a few hours ago or what you are supposed to do, there is a decent chance you have dementia.

Difficulty Talking or Understanding Others

When dementia strikes, you may find expressing your thoughts or ideas challenging. At the same time, you are less likely to understand those around you.

Inability to Accomplish Tasks

Another sign that can predict dementia years before a diagnosis is the inability to accomplish common tasks. At the same time, a person might experience difficulty learning new things.

How to Spot It

The best way to spot these symptoms is by paying attention to your thinking and reasoning.

What to Do Once You Identify It

Check out with a neurologist. A neurologist will perform a physical and mental examto determine if the symptoms are connected to dementia or other cognitive problems.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
