Don't Miss This Warning Sign of Dementia.

Difficulty with language, spatial issues, and trouble with directions are some of the early signs of dementia. Other less commonly recognized symptoms include difficulty completing familiar tasks, noise sensitivity, and a change in taste and smell. An abrupt change in personality or mood without underlying explanation should also raise a red flag. There is no cure for dementia, but early diagnosis can improve quality of life and slow the disease's progression. Recent breakthroughs in medical science offer hope for individuals with dementia and their families.
