A leading doctor has urged people to stay alert to the early warning signs of dementia, saying catching it early could make a huge difference in how the condition is managed. With over 940,000 people currently living with dementia in the UK — and that number rising fast — recognizing the symptoms is more important than ever.

Speaking on BBC Morning Live, Dr Punam Krishan broke down the tell-tale signs that are often brushed off as normal forgetfulness or aging. But these little red flags could be the start of something much more serious, and she stressed that spotting them early can open the door to vital support and treatment, reported Surry Live.
