ALAU | Being Merry, And Mindful of Dementia | January 2017

[Edited extract from public address]

In an aging population, symptoms of dementia usually develop gradually with subtle changes often more noticeable after long periods of time apart.

Festive season has many of us reuniting with loved one we haven't seen for a while.

Some early signs of dementia include:

• memory loss
• difficulties performing familiar tasks
• confusion about time and place
• problems with language
• poor or decreased judgement
• changes in personality or behaviour
