Dementia is a disease and is not part of the normal ageing process - but some of its early signs can often be confused with growing old.
Memory loss is one of the most obvious symptoms, but dementia - which affects the brain - also displays a range of other warning signs. Some of these can appear years before diagnosis, which are often mistaken as natural signs of old age.
With Dementia Action/Awareness Week underway until May 22, it's important to be aware of lesser-known symptoms. Difficulty finding the right words, behavioural change and struggling to concentrate could also indicate dementia, according to Alzheimer Scotland’s Head of National Services, Jennifer Hall.
“Though one of the most common and recognisable symptoms of dementia is memory loss, it is not the only symptom of dementia – the condition can be characterised by a range of other things such as difficulty with word finding, concentration, sensory and/or behavioural changes," she told the Record.
She added: "However, these sudden changes can be caused by something other than dementia and is always worth contacting your GP to ask for an assessment. Every person with dementia is impacted in different ways."
Occasionally forgetting a fact, an appointment or a friend's name happens to everyone from time to time. However, someone who has developed dementia may have difficulty remembering previously common tasks or recall well known information, according the Alzheimer's Society.
