Pre-dementia manifestations usually include memory loss, personality changes, decreased ability to engage in social activities and visual-spatial sense impairment.
1. Memory loss: the patient’s ability to learn new things decreases significantly, thinking is slow and wrong, abstract thinking is lost, and the understanding and judgment of general things are getting worse and worse.
2. Personality change: patients show symptoms such as decreased interest, poor initiative, social withdrawal, and emotional symptoms such as anxiety, irritability and depression.
3. Decrease in social activities: patients are unable to perform the tasks they are familiar with. As the disease progresses, patients will slowly be unable to take care of themselves and gradually lose their motor functions.
4. Impaired visual-spatial sense: At first, the sense of direction is weak and it is easy to get lost in unfamiliar places. Later on, even in a familiar place, it is easy to get lost and even unable to accurately determine the position of objects or misplace them.
It is recommended that patients with the above symptoms should seek timely medical treatment and be actively treated under doctor’s guidance in order to improve their symptoms and enhance their quality of life.
