Now, a dementia expert has shared eight red flag signs of the debilitating disease, which has many forms and can affect people of any age, reports the Express. He said: "Broadly, the symptoms associated with dementia are a decline in memory, reasoning and communication skills, a gradual loss of the ability to carry out daily activities and to make sense of the world around us, and confusion."If you start to experience any of the above symptoms, then it is crucial that you speak to your doctor if you have any concerns.
"Often, the fear of dementia can prevent people from seeking help or advice – but seeking advice early could rule out causes that may be treatable."
