@migraineswithmina: After years of seeing dementia patients, here are 5 early signs family members notice first ⬇️ 🧠 1. Repeating the same question or story — short-term memory loss is one of the earliest and most documented signs of Alzheimer’s (Alzheimer’s Association, 2023) 2.Word-finding difficulty — called anomia; family notices them pausing, saying “the thing” or substituting wrong words (DSM-5 neurocognitive criteria) 3. Subtle personality changes — increased anxiety, irritability, or apathy; often precedes memory complaints by years (Lyketsos et al., Lancet Psychiatry) 4.Getting confused about time or place — losing track of the day, season, or how they got somewhere (NICE Dementia Guidelines) 5. Withdrawing from social activities — pulling back from hobbies and plans; linked to early apathy and depression as prodromal dementia features (Ismail et al., 2016, JAMA Psychiatry) ⚠️ One symptom alone doesn’t mean dementia — but if you’re noticing a pattern, it’s worth an evaluation with a neurologist. #brainhealth #dementia #neurology #doctor #alzheimers
