Recognizing Early Signs of Dementia: Subtle Symptoms Often Mistaken for Normal Aging
Abstract
Dementia is a progressive cognitive disorder that significantly impacts an individual’s memory, thinking, and daily functioning. Early detection is crucial for effective management and intervention. However, the early signs of dementia can be subtle and are often mistaken for normal aging. This manuscript explores these early symptoms, providing a comprehensive overview to aid in the early recognition of dementia and to distinguish it from typical age-related changes.
