Many times, dementia may be written off as simply an elderly person being forgetful. While it is true that many elderly people do lose their memory, dementia has many other symptoms that manifest. Memory loss is the most common, but personality changes are also common. The sufferer may become angry or violent, when before they were calm. Hallucinations have also been documented in people with some kinds of dementia.
Only a doctor can accurately diagnose dementia, so if you believe you or your loved one may be suffering from it, seek medical attention at once.
