6. Signs and Symptoms of Dementia

Dementia is a progressive condition. The speed of progression varies between individuals. Unfortunately, there is no cure for dementia at the moment.

In this section we will outline the various stages a person with dementia may go through on their journey - from the early stages of the illness following diagnosis, to the middle stages, to the later, final stages.

Each stage can usually be recognised through the various symptoms associated with early, middle and late phases of dementia. However, it is important to state that this is not always possible, as different individuals react in different ways to the illness.
