How can I tell if my mother has dementia?

Usually the main signs of dementia is memory loss,but there are other signs to like: forgetting were they are , repeatedly asking the same question and forgetting familiar people (family,friends). But the best way to confirm whether or not she has dementia is to see a General Practitioner (GP).Hope this has been some help

It might sound too simple but doctors are really the best people right now. There are things they can do to try and help. I hope everything works out

As a person who lived with their Dementia/Alzheimer's grandmother for over 6 years, I can tell you the early signs will start out small. Like asking the same questions over and over,forgetting where they left something, forgetting someones name,things like that. It will,unfortunately, worsen over time so try to get them to the doctor as soon as possible.

Have you taken her to the doctor so that an official diagnosis can be made based on the symptoms she has having? This must really be worrying you so you must have noticed some odd signs that are concerning you and making you worry that she has dementia. It's a natural worry to jump to such associations, but going to the doctor can easily clear up the confusion and worry by providing you with an official diagnosis ..and then you can take the next step without any what if worries.

I really don't know, only doctors can tell but you should go to a doctor and he will say if she has it

The only certain way would be to talk to a professional. If she seems to be forgetting things it may be just coming with age but it also may be something more serius

If a loved one is experiencing some troubling memory problems, you might immediately conclude that it’s dementia. However, a person needs to have at least two types of impairment that are significant enough to interfere with everyday life to be considered a dementia diagnosis. In addition to difficulty remembering, the patient may also experience impairments in: language communication focus reasoning

It is hard to know but there are many online things for this and there are doctors please go see one and find out

The best thing to do in this situation is to contact your doctor. He/she will be able to recognise the symptoms of dementia and if nessesary provide the care required.

There are many online tests you can complete to determine this - obviously they aren't an official diagnosis, but once you have completed a test you might feel more inlcined to then go to a doctor and take this further
