Memory loss that disrupts daily life is one of the hallmark signs of early dementia. While occasional forgetfulness is normal, repeated difficulty in retaining new information, solving problems, or completing familiar tasks could indicate a more serious issue. Other early signs to look for include:

  • Difficulty finding the right words: Struggling to follow or join conversations.
  • Disorientation: Becoming lost in familiar places.
  • Mood or personality changes: Increased confusion, fear, or suspicion.
  • Misplacing objects: Frequently putting things in unusual places.

If you notice these symptoms in a loved one, it’s important to seek professional advice. Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve quality of life.
