Early indicators of dementia: 5 behaviour changes to look for after age 50

 



Dementia is a condition that affects cognitive and behavioral abilities. It is often associated with memory loss, but it can also manifest as changes in behavior. 

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.
