Early Dementia Signs
- Be aware of early dementia signs like struggling with word recall, feeling overwhelmed by tasks you used to handle easily, and experiencing confusion.
- These can appear decades after the disease process begins, so early intervention is key.

- Dementia is a broad term encompassing various types of cognitive decline, including Alzheimer's, which is characterized by amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles.
- Amyloid plaques, while present in Alzheimer's, are also found in most people and serve a protective function.

- Imbalance in any of these areas can contribute to cognitive decline.
