The BBC has published a list of the signs of dementia, to be used to shop elderly relatives to the NHS over Christmas. Not wishing to reflect on the possibilities for inter-family strife that could flow from a simple game of Snap, the following symptoms seemed remarkably familar.
- Struggling to remember recent events
- Problems following conversations
- Forgetting the names of friends or objects
- Repeating yourself
- Problems with thinking or reasoning
- Struggling to remember recent events
- Repeating yourself
- Confusion in familiar places
Oh, and the BBC had an interesting piece on old people over Christmas... sorry, where was I?
