Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that destroys brain cells, causing thinking ability and memory to deteriorate over time. This video will explain the 10 warning signs of dementia. While symptoms like memory loss and changes in mood and behaviour can be common signs of dementia, they may also be due to an underlying medical condition. If you are noticing changes that impact your daily life, it is important to speak to a doctor to access appropriate treatments and support.
