Early Warning Signs of Dementia | Anchorage News
Description
Dementia isn’t always about forgetting — it can sneak up years earlier through mood swings, sleep troubles, or even a slower walk. Scientists are spotting early warning signs like depression, irritability, or loss of smell that may signal brain changes before memory problems appear. Sleep quality, gait, and even grip strength are now being studied as predictors. While not every symptom means dementia, if you’re over 55 and notice persistent changes, it’s worth getting checked out — early action could make a big difference.
