There are five primary behaviors that may indicate a risk of dementia in people over age 50:

  1. Apathy: A decline in interest, motivation, and drive.
  2. Affective dysregulation: Mood or anxiety symptoms.
  3. Impulse dyscontrol: Lack of impulse control.
  4. Social inappropriateness: Socially inappropriate behavior.
  5. Abnormal perception or thought content: Abnormal thoughts or perceptions.

It’s important to note that these behaviors may also be indicative of other conditions, so it’s best to consult a medical professional if you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms.
