The signs to look out for 💙

'When should I worry about forgetfulness?'

We all forget things sometimes. Whether it’s lost keys, a missed doctor’s appointment, or a name that won’t come to mind, for most of us forgetfulness is just part of the natural process of ageing and everyday life.

Forgetting where you put something, but remembering it later isn’t usually a cause for concern.

Dementia is different. It’s not a normal part of getting older.

So when does forgetfulness become a warning sign of something more serious?

While some forgetfulness is normal, dementia symptoms will affect your daily life and get worse over time.

Memory loss might also be accompanied by other symptoms, such as:

🔵 Difficulty organising thoughts or staying focused
🔵 Confusion with time or place
🔵 Problems with vision
🔵 Problems using words or communicating
🔵 Changes in mood and personality

If you’re worried about yourself or someone else, it’s really important to speak to your GP. It might not be dementia, but if it is then early diagnosis is crucial to manage symptoms, live independently for longer and avoid ending up in a crisis.

And if you’d like more information, support or advice, just call our Dementia Support Line on 0333 150 3456.
