Unveiling Dementia: Spotting Its 10 Early Warning Signs

Slide 9: Withdrawal from Social or Work Activities

Avoiding hobbies, social events, or work tasks that were previously enjoyable or routine may point to cognitive decline. A growing preference for solitude is also a common sign.

Slide 10: Difficulty Adapting to New Situations

Increased confusion or discomfort in unfamiliar environments, compounded by difficulty learning new tasks or routines, is often an early indicator of dementia.

Detecting the early signs of dementia can be challenging because the condition typically progresses slowly. Subtle changes may initially be dismissed as normal aging or everyday forgetfulness.These signs don’t confirm dementia but signal the need for professional evaluation. Early recognition allows for better planning, access to treatments, and support for both individuals and their families. By staying aware, we can ensure proactive steps toward care and understanding.
