It’s Not Just Memory Loss The Early Dementia Sign Many Families Miss
How can you tell when someone is starting to develop dementia? Many people imagine they’d notice immediately when something is off with a loved one. They think they’ll catch their loved one as they struggle to make simple decisions, fail to remember names, or become confused about scenarios they’ve experienced countless times. They may even see personality or sudden mood changes. All of these are early symptoms of dementia and Alzheimer’s. For years, researchers and scientists have been working to learn as much as possible about dementia. They’ve tried to determine its origin,
the earliest symptoms, and, of course, a cure. Recently, numerous studies have focused on facial movements related to dementia, yielding surprising results. They found that those with dementia tend to show less variation in facial expression, and when they do show expression, it’s often more subdued. Further, their facial reactions may be slower. It could take them longer to smile after a joke or show disdain over criticism. Some studies have also shown that individuals smile less often, even if they’re feeling happy internally. Dementia impacts emotional processing, motor planning, social
engagement, and facial muscle coordination. That’s why these subtle changes in facial expression and emotion can be an early warning sign of dementia. However, this does not mean you can simply diagnose someone by looking at their face while talking to them. By looking for early signs of dementia and speaking with a medical professional, you can catch the illness early and provide your loved one with meaningful care that benefits them for the rest of their life.
