Know the Signs. Start the Conversation.
📅 19th – 25th May 2025

Dementia can affect anyone — and chances are, it’s already touched someone you know. Dementia Awareness Week 2025 is a time to talk openly, share knowledge, and raise awareness of this life-changing condition that too often goes unrecognised in its early stages.

This year’s message is simple but vital:
Know the signs. Don’t wait. Take action.

7 Common Early Signs of Dementia

Dementia is more than just forgetfulness — it’s a progressive neurological condition that affects memory, communication, and day-to-day functioning. Recognising these early symptoms of dementia can help someone get the support they need — sooner.

  1. Memory Loss That Disrupts Everyday Life
    Repeatedly forgetting appointments, events, or recent conversations.
  2. Difficulty with Conversations or Finding Words
    Losing track mid-sentence or struggling to name everyday objects.
  3. Confusion About Time or Place
    Getting lost in familiar areas or losing track of dates and seasons.
  4. Personality and Mood Changes
    Unusual withdrawal, anxiety, irritability, or sudden shifts in behaviour.
  5. Problems with Routine Tasks
    Struggling to follow steps in familiar activities like cooking or paying bills.
  6. Misplacing Items and Losing the Ability to Retrace Steps
    Placing objects in unusual spots (e.g. keys in the freezer) and becoming suspicious when they can’t be found.
  7. Poor Judgement
    Wearing inappropriate clothing for the weather, neglecting hygiene, or showing reduced financial awareness.
