Early stages of dementia: symptoms, diagnosis and treatment
These are some of the signs that you might see in someone with early stage dementia.
Stages of dementia
Dementia is a progressive condition that gets gradually worse over time, and as yet, there is no cure or treatment that slows this progression down. This may happen quickly or slowly, depending on factors including the type of dementia, the person’s age, their general health, and their lifestyle. It can be helpful to think of dementia progressing in three stages – early, middle and late stages.
Middle stage dementia
In the middle stage of dementia, the signs and symptoms become more obvious and will have a bigger impact on the person's daily life.
Late stage dementia
These are some of the changes you might expect in someone who is in the late stage of dementia.
