There isn’t just one symptom
Experts have shared the tell-tale signs of dementia as they warn the disease is a 'time bomb'. The disease, which can lead to patients forgetting their dearest family members, affects more than 850,000 people in the UK according to the NHS - and this number is expected to rise sharply in the coming years.
Symptoms According to Dr Purcell there's not just one clear tell-tale sign of dementia. She said: "So it’s not a one size fits all situation. , I’d like there to be." "Also people said 'I’m not the same, but I can not put that in words'. Or the family will say he or she is not the same person. They cannot put that in words. Sort of a feeling, that something is different."
"Change in function. So they’re having difficulty walking or they can’t do the things they would normally do." Dementia is an umbrella term for a number of cognitive disorders that impair the ability to remember, think, or make decisions. Instead life-style changes can make a huge difference. Dr Purcell said: "We generally say what is good for the heart is good for the brain. So discontinuing any cigarette or alcohol use. Making sure blood pressure is controlled., diabetes is controlled."
