Changes in mood or emotion
A person with dementia can seem like they’ve changed and lost interest in social interactions and hobbies.
Furthermore, they may become more anxious, sad, frightened and even depressed.
The Alzheimer’s Society added: “It is also common to become more irritable – perhaps in frustration at lost abilities – or easily upset.”
Difficulties in thinking things through and planning
The brain condition can leave the person confused more easily, or make complex decisions like finances and problem-solving more difficult.
“Talk to a GP” if you start becoming more forgetful and experiencing the early signs pointing to dementia, the NHS advises.
