Dementia is a term used to describe the symptoms for a large group of illnesses; there are, in fact, over 100 conditions that can cause it. It is estimated that more than 56,000 new cases of dementia will be diagnosed this year.
It is important to remember that many conditions have similar symptoms to dementia, so do not assume that someone has dementia just because some of the symptoms are present.
The Alzheimer's Association New South Wales provides a checklist of common symptoms for dementia. To help you know the warning signs to look for, we have edited their list of symptoms to check. If you make several check marks, the individual with the symptoms should see a doctor for a complete examination.
