Dementia Sign #3: Forgetting Words
One of the other signs of emerging dementia is a person forgetting words during conversation. They will have a hard time expressing themselves because they are unable to easily fit their thoughts into words.
A person with dementia may also entirely forget words that are commonly used in daily conversation. Those beginning to develop serious dementia may actually confuse commonly used words, like using the word cup in place of bowl. This can make it very difficult to communicate with someone suffering from dementia.
