Long before the appearance of forgetfulness and absent-mindedness – these are usually considered the first signs of developing dementia – some other features appear in a person’s behavior that speak of incipient problems. Details neurologist Arif Dalvi told for Nuffingtonpos.
For example, a neurologist called it a warning sign if a person began to have difficulty expressing his thoughts, often began to forget words and had difficulty building long sentences, when a person’s cognitive capabilities decrease, a previously talkative person may begin to speak in short and dry phrases, the doctor explained.
Also, people with incipient dementia may have problems with orientation in space. For example, if a person has difficulty moving along a previously familiar route or forgets how to get to a bus stop, begins to walk with uncertain steps, longer paths, sometimes constantly looking around, as if not recognizing the way.
Difficulties with daily tasks, sensitivity to noise, mood swings and a sudden change in character for no reason, as well as a worsened reaction time, are also a bad sign. At the same time, the neurologist emphasized that memory loss appears already in the later stages of dementia, and many simply ignore the signals of the body, taking them for “ordinary” age-related features.
Earlier, the doctor told how dangerous the sport is in the heat.
