Dementia is characterized by memory lapses. There are many types of dementia that can begin to develop even before old age. Doctor Rob Martin has named 8 main symptoms of incipient dementia.

The list of the most popular signs includes deterioration of memory and reasoning and communication skills, gradual loss of the ability to perform everyday activities, comprehend and understand the world around you, as well as confusion. There are a number of other symptoms that many people may not pay attention to.

Impairment of cognitive functions of the brain first manifests itself in the form of increased forgetfulness, for example, of friends' names or recent events. A person loses the thread of a conversation or may forget what they were talking about in the middle of a sentence. People with developing dementia often feel confused, even in a familiar environment, for example, at home.

At the same time, difficulties with performing tasks and various types of activities that require increased concentration increase. People with dementia often change their mood and behavior, they take a long time to choose the right words, they are poorly oriented in space and cannot organize their routine.

The sooner a patient with developing dementia consults a doctor, the more effective the treatment will be. Advanced forms of dementia are more difficult to control. Moreover, even in the early stages of the disease, it is difficult to diagnose it, emphasizes Dr. Martin.
