Dementia looks different for everyone, and symptoms will also be different depending on what kind of dementia someone has.

Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia and dementia with Lewy bodies are four of the most common forms of dementia, and they can all affect people differently. This is our guide to a few of the most common symptoms for each illness.

By knowing the signs, we can make sure that we don’t brush off or ignore some of these lesser-known symptoms, to help everyone with dementia get a crucial early diagnosis.

Save this post for later, and if you’d like more info visit the website or give the Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456.

Mental health is just as important as physical health, and it’s essential to dedicate time to caring for it 🧡

However, YouGov research reveals that about one in four people never take this time.

Fortunately, there are simple daily actions we can take to boost our wellbeing. According to the New Economic Foundation, here are five effective ways to improve wellbeing.

Connect 👋

Staying in touch with loved ones can make us feel happier and more secure; and often just having a chat can help to lift our mood.

Be active 🚶

Being active isn’t just good for our physical health; it’s also proven to have a positive effect on our mental health and wellbeing.

Take notice 👀

Whether you’re spending time with friends or taking a moment for yourself, try to stop to take notice and be aware of the present.

Learn 🧠

Learning enhances your self-esteem and confidence, and can be a great way to meet new people.

Give 🧡

Giving can be very rewarding – in fact, those who report a greater interest in helping others are more likely to rate themselves as happy.

Heading off on your holidays this summer? ✈️🏕️ !
Even if you are heading away from home only for a night or two, don't forget to pack any prescribed medicines!
It's also a good idea to consider taking with you:
🔹paracetamol and ibuprofen for pain relief
🔹anti-histamines to help with allergies like hay fever
🔹anti-diarrhoeal medication and rehydration sachets for diarrhoea
🔹indigestion remedies like an antacid
🔹mild laxatives for constipation
🔹medicines specifically for children
