Memory slips happen to everyone, but sometimes it can be a sign of something more serious. Dementia is a decline in thinking skills that’s severe enough to interfere with daily life. It’s NOT a normal part of aging.
Here are some signs you or a loved one might notice:
- Memory Issues: Constantly forgetting recent events, conversations, or important dates.
- Trouble with Everyday Tasks: Having a hard time following a recipe, paying bills, or driving a familiar route.
- Communication Problems: Struggling to find the right words or following a conversation.
- Personality Changes: Becoming anxious, agitated, or acting in ways that seem out of character.
- Feeling Lost: Getting confused about where you are or what day it is.
If you are concerned about any of these signs, don’t ignore them. Many of these symptoms can also be caused by treatable conditions. Talking to a doctor is the first and most important step.
