World Alzheimer’s Day Urges Timely Dementia Diagnosis in Bhopal

Doctors in Bhopal are warning that more older people may develop dementia.

Dementia can slowly affect memory, thinking, language and everyday activities.

Alzheimer’s disease is one type of dementia.

The problem can be difficult to notice because it develops over many years.

Doctors say families should seek a diagnosis instead of explaining away early warning signs.

They also recommend reading, doing maths and staying mentally active.

A healthy lifestyle and diet may help older people manage their health.

The campaign says a timely diagnosis can help families understand what is happening and access support.
