How can I tell if my mother has dementia?

You should tell her as she is ageing, she has been affected by dementia. Many old people are affected with one or the other disease but not to worry as you are with her in her journey

You should think about convincing your mother to see a doctor and get some evalutaions for dementia.

I think the best you can do is take her to an specialist, because that's a serious illness and you can't diagnose it with Internet's information or by yourself.

Dementia is caused by diseases of the brain. There are over 100 different types of Dementia, Alzheimer's Disease and Vascular Dementia being the most common. In each case, Dementia manifests itself differently, depending upon how it affects the individual. Commonly, memory is affected, but not in every case. It would be an idea to have an investigation from a Doctor who will perform a special check which can indicate the early stages. There is also a drug named Aricept which can be provided in early-onset Dementia to slow down the effects.

My grandma has dementia really bad. their whole memory starts to fade. they also tend to say the same thing over and over because of their loss of memory. then they start to forget family members. Its really sad to see them like that

You should take her to the doctor and consult her. Without a doctor it might not be solved if she has or if she does not.

from a medical point of view you cant it has to be diagnosed however some symptoms of dementia can be noticed, some symptoms include: - forgetting things regularly - difficulty remembering names/places - referring to themselves as a younger person than what they actually are these are again subject to a diagnosis really your best option in this case is to speak to the person and maybe visit your pg. with him/her.

Dementia is sometimes tricky to pick up. But there are some common signs. However, I would recommend visiting a doctor, or an expert who you can talk to about your mother's behaviour. That way, they can diagnose the type of dementia, or tell you if it may be something else!

You can tell if your mother may have dementia if she is having mental loss, confusion, or forgetfulness. I would definitely try to get her to a doctor to see if she meets the criteria of dementia.

Dementia is an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities. If you suspect any of this i would takeher to a doctor.
