Have you been wondering how to tell the difference between normal aging and dementia? Fortunately, the distinction is a little more noticeable than you might expect. We all have moments or even days where nothing’s quite clicking, almost like our brains are misfiring. You can’t remember what day of the week it is, or you’ve forgotten the word for the TV remote. When we’re young it’s easy to write this off as mere forgetfulness and as we age, moments like this become even more common. Even without dementia. So how can you tell when to seek a diagnosis?
Well, the first main difference is that someone who is forgetful will usually be able to find the information they are looking for. You can check the calendar to learn the date or focus hard enough to remember the word you need. A person with dementia cannot do this. They cannot retrieve that lost information. If you are someone who loses things, your keys for instance, it is usually common to find them in logical places. Between the couch cushions or maybe on a countertop you passed after getting inside. For someone with dementia, items tend to show up in much more unusual places: dog bowls, cabinets, or maybe even in the trash. There can also be some confusion when it comes to decision-making between aging and dementia. An aging person may make a poor decision they come to later regret and avoid, such as loaning money. A person with dementia may continuously loan money to people, forgetting that they have done so already only recently.
