Christmas is approaching – and for many of us this is a time to spend time with family and friends, often those we haven’t seen for some time. And sometimes, when you haven’t seen someone for a while, you might notice changes in them that weren’t there before. In its early stages, dementia can be difficult to tell apart from other conditions. And that means it can be hard to know how much to worry if you think someone might be a bit different than when you last saw them. That’s understandable – it’s something many of us know very little about! If you are concerned about symptoms, speaking with your GP is the first thing to do.
