This will allow people to be directed to places where they can start building connections with people in similar situations. They can also get advice, even before they receive a formal diagnosis. This can help reduce isolation and loneliness amongst those with dementia.
There is strong evidence that bringing people together in their local community helps most people build resilience in coping with dementia. People can live well after a dementia diagnosis and adapt and socially develop. They can also maintain contact with family and friends, their local community and the professional services they need support from.
You don't have to face your dementia journey alone. Take control by accessing the help and support available.
Symptoms of dementia
Dementia is a collection of symptoms that result from damage to the brain caused by different diseases, such as Alzheimer's. These symptoms vary according to the part of the brain that is damaged.
While occasional memory loss can occur because of stress, anxiety or tiredness, if it is happening often enough to impact your daily life, or it is worrying you, then you should contact your GP for help.
Dementia isn't just about memory loss though. It can also affect how people speak and behave.
Find out more about the symptoms of dementia on the NHS website.
