Dementia Sign #8: Repetition
When you combine all of the previous symptoms, you may understand why it’s common for people with dementia to become repetitive. The combination of confusion, lack of comprehension, and changes in behavior can make a person express the same thing (or express a lack of understanding) many times in a day.
This is particularly apparent for those suffering from more severe memory loss. A person with dementia is likely to ask the same question or tell the same story several times a day. This makes it very difficult to communicate with someone with dementia.
They may also repeat daily tasks more than they need to. For example, they may shave twice in a day, have several showers, or make breakfast twice.
