There are different signs of dementia such as loss of memory, staying focused, communication but the best way to know is to take her to a doctor for testing as these symptoms can be caused by many things including any medication that she may be taking or maybe she is going through problems she hasn't confided in anyone about so she is distracted.

I have worked with adults with Dementia. You first notice that they repeat the same questions over and over, simple ones like, what day is it? Where are we going? And her eyes will start to look empty as if something is going on.

dementia is an illness and should be diagnosed by professionals. You shouldn't do this yourself.
If your parent has dementia it's not likely that she is aware of her symptoms like forgetting things.

Although signs may vary, the most common signs of early onset dementia are: memory problems (particularly remembering recent events),increasing confusion.reduced concentration.
personality or behavior changes such as fatigue, and idling themselves, apathy and withdrawal or depression and often times they have a loss of ability to do everyday tasks. I hope this helped! The most supportive thing you can do is just listen and remind them, be patient.

First of all I'm not a doctor so I can't tell if your mother truly has a dementia. But what I can advise you to do if you suspect she has one is to research and ask a professional doctor thar can confirm if your mother truly has dementia.

Dementia is a medical illness, and needs to be properly diagnosed by a qualified doctor. I suggest setting up an appointment for your mother at a mental health facility.

My mom has dementia so occasionally she will say things that don't make any sense, she will bring up past issues and start blaming somebody for it. My mom also misplaces things and later will blame somebody else or say it got stolen.
