MariaPCC 23 December 2024

The NHS is highlighting the signs and symptoms of dementia to look out for in loved ones. Common early symptoms of dementia that may appear some time before an official medical diagnosis include:

  • emotional changes such as irritability
  • forgetfulness
  • struggling to follow a conversation or find the right word
  • being confused about time and place

The symptoms reminder comes alongside data showing more people than ever before have a dementia diagnosis.  November figures showing 499,068 people in England have received a dementia diagnosis – a jump of 19,416 in a year.
