The early symptoms of dementia are very similar to what most people consider a normal part of "ageing." These include symptoms like memory loss, confusion, disorientation, inability to do normal activities, withdrawal, agitation, and frustration. Many patients who face such problems do not consult a doctor, thinking, "This must be normal at their age. They will look foolish if they go to a doctor with these problems."On the other hand, when people who know about dementia experience such symptoms, they suspect (or fear) that they have dementia. However, they hesitate to consult a doctor because of the stigma of being diagnosed with dementia. In some cultures, people may associate "dementia" with strange behaviour, helplessness, and negativity, and they don't want to be labelled as dementia patients. In other cultures, where dementia awareness is poor, there is a stigma about a dementia diagnosis because people associate dementia with insanity. People also hesitate to get a diagnosis because they have heard that dementia is incurable, so they see no point in "wasting" time and money by going to a doctor.The sad reality of dementia is that the dementia patient gradually starts to forget. At first, it seems like stress or fatigue may be the cause, but as the forgetfulness increases and other symptoms become evident the dementia caregiver may become nervous about some of the important information that could be lost in their loved one's memory.Knowing the symptoms of dementia care and how to address them are crucial. Whether it's someone we know who's getting older or we ourselves, at some point we'll be faced with the issue of mental decline and the possibility of dementia.Dementia symptoms can cover a range and are not always consistent from one individual to another, but there are common signs that can be observed. Forgetfulness is one of the most common and well-known symptoms of dementia. While forgetting things only to remember them later is something that happens to all of us from time to time, a person with dementia, particularly as it progresses, will not only increasingly forget things but will not remember them later as well. Another symptom of dementia is a change in mood and/or personality. A person with dementia will often have sharp mood swings or seem to behave in a manner that is not usual for them.
