The Alzheimer’s Society in Merseyside have listed ten dementia warning signs amid fears there are tens of thousands of people living with undiagnosed dementia in the UK.
Lali Kelly, a Dementia Adviser for Alzheimer’s Society in the St Helen’s area, said: “Every three minutes in the UK someone develops dementia, but right now diagnosis rates are at a five-year low due to the pandemic.
“We know some people can be put off seeking a diagnosis for a number of reasons such as thinking memory loss is a normal part of ageing, they don’t recognise the signs, or are just too afraid.
