- Dementia starts quietly, before memory loss.
- Early signs include personality and mood changes.
- People become more sensitive and irritable.
- These changes show brain areas controlling emotions are weakening.
- Low self-awareness is another sign, people don’t notice their issues.
- They might say they’re fine but forget their own problems.
- Language problems also appear early, like trouble finding words.
- Repeating words or struggling to speak are signs of brain damage.
- These symptoms happen before memory loss shows up.
- Changes in speech, mood, and attitude shouldn’t be ignored.
