July & August 2014 (continued from page 24) Dementia is a progressive condition, which means the symptoms will gradually get worse. This progression will vary from person to person and each person will experience dementia in a different way. Although the person will have some of the above symptoms, the degree to which they affect an individual will vary and not all people will have all of these symptoms. It is also important to say that just because someone might appear to repeat them self or not remembering things as they used to or forgetting what they have gone into a room for does not necessarily mean that they have dementia and that conclusions should not be jumped to.
