Spotting the Early Signs of Dementia: 6 Lesser-Known Symptoms to Watch Out For

Dr. Byron Creese, a senior lecturer in psychology at Brunel University, has identified six early signs of dementia that go beyond memory issues. These signs include behavioural changes such as agitation, aggression, mood changes, anxiety, social withdrawal, and changes in behaviour. Dr. Creese emphasizes the importance of recognizing these symptoms alongside memory and thinking problems, as they may indicate a greater risk of dementia. Early diagnosis is crucial for providing the right support to individuals with dementia.
