We all forget things sometimes—like misplacing keys or blanking on a name—but dementia goes far beyond typical forgetfulness. It’s a progressive condition that disrupts memory, reasoning, communication, and daily life.
More than 55 million people globally live with dementia, but early detection matters. Some causes are treatable, and early intervention can slow progression.
Key Early Signs of Dementia:
-
Severe forgetfulness – Forgetting recent events or conversations.
-
Communication issues – Trouble finding words or following conversations.
-
Struggling with routine tasks – Difficulty completing familiar activities.
