Dementia<\/a> is the name given to a group of symptoms linked to an ongoing decline in brain function. You could be at risk of the neurodegenerative condition if you develop difficulties with your vocabulary.<\/p>\n

\n

There are a number of different types of dementia, and the most common in the UK is Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

Diagnosing the condition early could help to slow down the condition\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n

You could be at risk of Alzheimer’s if you notice that it’s becoming increasingly difficult to write letters or documents.<\/p>\n

Some dementia patients may stop in the middle of their writing, as they try to remember the right word or object.<\/p>\n

\n

They could find that they’re repeating themselves in their speaking or writing on a number of occasions.<\/p>\n

It’s perfectly normal to occasionally forget the right word to use in conversation, or with your writing.<\/p>\n

But, if it happens frequently, then you may want to consider speaking to a doctor.<\/p>\n

“Memory loss that disrupts daily life may be a symptom of Alzheimer’s or other dementia,” said the Alzheimer’s Association charity.<\/p>\n

“People living with Alzheimer’s may have trouble following or joining a conversation.<\/p>\n

“They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves.<\/p>\n

“They may struggle with vocabulary, have trouble naming a familiar object or use the wrong name [e.g. calling a ‘watch’ a ‘hand-clock’].<\/p>\n

“If you notice any of [these signs], don’t ignore them. Schedule an appointment with your doctor.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

You could also be at risk of the neurodegenerative condition if you find it difficult to complete everyday tasks, it added.<\/p>\n

Struggling to navigate your car journey to a common destination is one of the earliest warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease.<\/p>\n

Some patients also struggle to organise a shopping list, or remember the rules of their favourite game.<\/p>\n

But, again, it’s completely normal to need extra help as we get older, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that you have dementia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

There\u2019s no certain way to prevent dementia from developing, but there are ways to lower your risk, said the NHS.<\/p>\n

Eating a healthy, balanced diet should help to lower your chances of developing dementia.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also important to do enough exercise. Everyone should aim to do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity every week.<\/p>\n

There are around 850,000 people in the UK with dementia, and the condition affects one in every six people over 80 years old.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
