Early symptoms of dementia that can appear in daily life

Dementia is a broad term for conditions that impair memory, information processing, and speech. It can affect people of all ages, but is more common in those over 65. The early signs of dementia are subtle and include memory loss, difficulty with tasks, mood changes, and disorientation. Other symptoms may include repeating things, poor judgment, depth perception issues, and noise intolerance. Dementia causes impairment in social and independent functioning.
