The NHS notes: “There’s no certain way to prevent all types of dementia, as researchers are still investigating how the condition develops.”
The health body explains different types of dementia can affect people differently, and everyone will experience symptoms in their own way.
It states: “However, there are some common early symptoms that may appear some time before a diagnosis of dementia. These include:
- Memory loss
- Difficulty concentrating
- Finding it hard to carry out familiar daily tasks, such as getting confused over the correct change when shopping
- Struggling to follow a conversation or find the right word
- Being confused about time and place
- Mood changes.
