<human>:  I need to find information on how to spot early signs of dementia.
<bot>: The most common early signs of dementia include confusion, memory loss, difficulty speaking​ and understanding language, difficulty concentrating and completing tasks, difficulty planning and decision-making, and personality and behavior changes. If you are concerned about yourself or a loved one, you should speak to a doctor. They may order tests to diagnose and determine the cause of the symptoms. Early diagnosis and intervention may help slow down the progression of dementia and enable the person to remain independent for longer.
