If you’re experiencing a loss of your ability to remember things or think clearly, you’re not alone. In fact, one person develops dementia every three seconds. There are 6 hotlines in United Kingdom that provide support with dementia and Alzheimer's. Contact them if you are noticing the following symptoms:

Being easily irritated regardless of knowing it’s nothing you would normally get upset about
Taking longer to complete tasks you perform regularly
Finding yourself repeating questions when you are asked something so that you can focus better
Having a hard time finding the right word
Sudden changes in mood, agitation
Confusion about place, like getting confused about where you are at the moment
Wandering or getting lost in neighborhoods you know well
You become paranoid and feel like everyone is working against you

Dementia and Alzheimer’s could leave you confused and scared. You might have many questions about what your future might look like. This is perfectly understandable. The symptoms you have been experiencing seem to be changing your life and yourself.

You might feel the need to maintain your self-sufficiency as long as possible. Reaching out to volunteers from a helpline that supports with dementia and Alzheimer’s can help you cope with the diagnosis in a healthy and productive way.

We’ve partnered with ThroughLine to compile a list of resources for support to address a variety of possible issues.

If you have a negative experience, please know it is not your fault; help is available. Submit a report by following our guidance here, and consider contacting one of the resources above.
