During this time Alzheimer’s Society are aiming to inspire thousands more people to learn about dementia and have produced a checklist for possible dementia symptoms.
Alzheimer’s Society Dementia Symptoms Checklist
Alzheimer’s Society have produced a checklist for possible dementia symptoms. This free tool can be used to note any difficulties you’ve had and help you discuss your concerns with a GP, healthcare professional or a trusted individual.
It is not a diagnosis tool and having these symptoms does not mean you are developing dementia. Everyone experiences dementia in their own way. This checklist includes common signs of dementia, but there can be other reasons for any changes you’ve noticed.
The checklist contains 20 questions about possible symptoms or behaviours relating to dementia. You will need to think about:
- the symptoms that each question describes
- how long they have been happening
- how much they are affecting daily life
If you are completing this form on behalf of someone else, answer the questions from their perspective.
