Early-onset dementia affects people under the age of 65 and is often misunderstood or missed.

Symptoms can include changes in behaviour, communication, understanding, awareness, and movement. In some cases, people may not recognise these changes themselves, which can delay support and diagnosis.

If concerns about memory, thinking, language, or behaviour persist, it is important to speak to a healthcare professional.

A new study from Imperial College London shows that the cells lining the brain’s blood vessels are deeply involved in dementia risk. These vascular cells influence blood flow, inflammation and how the brain responds to damage over time.

This helps explain why conditions affecting blood vessels, such as high blood pressure or small vessel disease, are closely linked to cognitive decline. It also reinforces that caring for brain health includes caring for vascular health.

Advances like this bring us closer to earlier intervention, more precise diagnosis and better prevention strategies for dementia.

February is Heart Month. Heart and vascular health are closely linked to brain health, dementia risk and stroke. Healthy blood vessels support blood flow to the brain, helping maintain memory, thinking and overall cognitive function.

Looking after your heart is an important part of protecting long-term brain health.

Conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease, which are linked to obesity, can increase the risk of dementia. Maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and a healthy weight can help reduce this risk and protect your brain health. Talk to a healthcare professional about managing your weight for long-term health benefits.

January can feel long and demanding, especially after the momentum of the New Year fades. Taking a moment to check in with yourself can help you notice how you are coping and what support you might need.

Wellbeing is not about perfection or pushing through. It is about recognising when to rest, when to talk, and when to ask for help. Small check-ins can make a meaningful difference.

Research from Newcastle University shows that regular social interaction is linked to better mental health, reduced stress and stronger cognitive resilience. Staying socially connected plays an important role in supporting wellbeing as we age.

The brain benefits from meaningful relationships, just as it does from movement, rest and mental stimulation.

Feeling the January blues? You’re not alone.

“Blue Monday” is often called the most difficult day of the year for our mood. Whether or not the science behind the date is exact, many people do feel a dip in motivation, mood, and energy this time of year.

Your brain is influenced by things like sleep, daylight, routine, and connection — all of which can be disrupted in winter.

🧠 If you’re feeling low, please know: support is available, and there are ways to care for your brain and emotional health.

📖 Read this article featuring insights from our very own Dr Paschos, who explores the truth behind Blue Monday and how to support your mental wellbeing:

Blue Monday, the most depressing day of the year: Is there any science behind it, or is it just a myth that has gained too much momentum over time?

The ITV News report on Wayne Mallon is a deeply sobering reminder of the hidden neurological injuries faced by many military veterans.

Wayne served for 24 years in the Royal Artillery and was fit and healthy on discharge. What followed - progressively worsening headaches, personality change and increasing reliance on medication - is sadly consistent with what we see in blast-related traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The evidence is clear: blast TBI behaves differently from civilian head injury. Progressive, intensifying headache over years is a recognised red flag, particularly in those with repeated blast exposure. Personality change, emotional dysregulation and cognitive decline often coexist and are frequently misattributed solely to PTSD.

Misattributing these symptoms can delay diagnosis, restrict appropriate treatment and leave families without the clarity and support they urgently need.

Wayne’s story highlights the urgent need for greater awareness, better screening and more joined-up neurological and psychiatric care for veterans - not only during service, but long after discharge.

We owe it to those who serve to recognise blast-related brain injury for what it is: a serious, progressive neurological condition that deserves timely investigation, compassionate care and proper support for families.

Our thoughts are with Wayne’s loved ones, and we commend them for speaking out so others may be helped sooner.

A new online tool can help estimate your risk of Alzheimer’s by combining age, lifestyle and health factors. It does not provide certainty, but it can encourage earlier conversations and proactive choices that support brain health.

At Re:Cognition Health, we believe awareness is the first step towards prevention and timely care.
