What are the symptoms of dementia

summary

Some time ago, I went to the welfare home with my friends to do volunteer work. I found that there was a child who was dull all the time, and no one else played with him. After asking the Dean, I learned that he was suffering from dementia, so he was lonely and no one accompanied him. Today, let me talk about the symptoms of dementia.

What are the symptoms of dementia

First: dementia often occurs slowly and gradually worsens, so it is not easy to identify at first. Memory and the ability to know people, places, and objects declined. It is difficult to find and use words correctly, the ability of abstract thinking (such as numeral calculation) decreases, and personality changes are common. The onset of dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease is elusive. When dementia patients can not complete their work well, it often indicates that the disease begins to occur, which is not easy to be detected at first.

Second: the first symptom is often forgetting the recent events. Sometimes, when the patient starts to get sick, he often has depression, fear, anxiety, depression or other personality changes. Language change may be very slight, often can only use simple words, words are not correct or can not find the correct vocabulary expression, can not distinguish traffic signals, making it difficult to drive, with the passage of time, these changes are more prominent, eventually the patient can not adapt to the society.

Third: dementia caused by stroke is different from dementia caused by Alzheimer's disease. This kind of dementia often presents a ladder process, suddenly worsens, and soon improves to a certain extent. When another stroke occurs a few months or years later, it worsens again. Control of hypertension and diabetes can often prevent further stroke, and sometimes it can be slightly relieved. In the most serious case, dementia results in almost complete loss of brain function.
