5. Welche Symptome gibt es bei Demenz?

What are the symptoms of dementia?

In principle, many different symptoms and symptom complexes can be observed:

The following symptoms may indicate the onset of dementia:

e.g. an affected person forgets that her daughter has registered for coffee, although they had spoken on the phone in the morning

e.g. a person is standing in front of the supermarket where he always shops and suddenly no longer knows how to get to his home

e.g. an affected person who was rather reserved and quiet as a person becomes gruff, loud and strict if she does not understand something

e.g. names of relatives are forgotten, the seasons can no longer be named
