If you notice early symptoms of dementia, undergo a primary health center interview, followed by secondary detailed examinations, and receive treatment.

Recording the experience of an elderly family member receiving an early diagnosis of dementia.
Let's talk about what dementia is and the process leading up to a dementia diagnosis.
And by noting down the early symptoms of dementia, keeping a list and checking them regularly will be helpful.

Alzheimer's disease, known through the movie "Eraser in My Head," is the most common degenerative brain disorder that causes dementia.
When affected by dementia, it is not only a decline in memory but also changes in personality, which can lead to mental illnesses such as depression and delusions. Since there is still no definitive cure, the disease feels even more frightening.
Therefore, early detection of dementia symptoms and prompt medication treatment to slow the progression of the disease is the best approach. ㅠ.ㅠ

At first, our elderly family member also thought the early symptoms of dementia were just simple forgetfulness.
Where is my phone as an early symptom? Where did I put the car keys?? But I started to feel like I couldn't remember even the stories I just heard more and more.
It is important to recognize the early symptoms of dementia, and if family members or elderly people around you show signs of early dementia, it is advisable to quickly visit the nearby health center to undergo a dementia screening.

I also received a dementia screening for my elderly family member through a questionnaire at the public health center and am receiving treatment support afterward, so please be sure to contact and visit the relevant public health center.

The main characteristic of early signs of dementia is being able to remember past events but being unable to recall recent happenings.

Our family, who started like that, is currently monitoring the progress of dementia, which is progressing more slowly through medication treatment.

Don't dismiss early symptoms of dementia as just mild forgetfulness; please keep a close watch. Early diagnosis of dementia is really important because it can significantly affect the quality of life for patients later on.
