Stage two dementia, often referred to as mild cognitive impairment, is characterized by noticeable memory lapses and cognitive difficulties that are more pronounced than typical age-related changes. Individuals may struggle with recalling recent events, managing finances, or following conversations, though they can usually still perform routine daily activities. This stage often leads to increased frustration and confusion for both the individual and their family, highlighting the need for support and monitoring as the condition progresses. Early intervention strategies can be beneficial in managing symptoms and maintaining quality of life.
