3. Early Signs of Dementia
 Dementia is more than just the loss of memory, and many early signs of
dementia are subtle , making it easy to overlook them. Not recognizing
sarcasm is one possible sign of Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal
dementia. Even for individuals who do not appreciate sarcastic senses of
humor, most individuals recognize when sarcasm is being used because of
its prevalence in society. Frequent falling has also been associated with
early Alzheimer’s and can be potentially dangerous if ignored. Many
individuals who fall regularly have a disorder known as progressive
supranuclear palsy, which makes it difficult for them to catch themselves
when falling.

4. Early Signs of Dementia
 Subtle short-term memory changes, such as forgetting what was for
breakfast or where something was last set down , may also signal early
dementia. Although many individuals experience this kind of forgetting
from time to time, increases in short-term memory lapses may signal that
something is amiss. Similarly, struggling with finding the right words for
communication is another sign. As dementia progresses, conversations
typically become more brief and more difficult.
