Experts have sounded the alarm that a peculiar kitchen behaviour could signal dementia, urging people to consult a doctor if observed in someone close.
"Anyone can temporarily misplace a wallet or keys. However, a person living with dementia may put things in inappropriate places," it clarified. "For example, a remote in the refrigerator."
The Alzheimer's Society in the UK has also highlighted this as a key symptom to watch out for in individuals with dementia. The society said:“People with dementia often lose items as a result of their memory loss.
“They may misplace common items, such as glasses or keys, or put an item somewhere for safekeeping and then forget where it is. They may also leave items in unusual places – for example, leaving the remote control in the bathroom, or the fridge.”
Or it could be there's so much shite going on in the world and in your life it's difficult to think clearly.
ReplyDeleteI have to call BS. I have found the TV remote in the fridge the next morning after a night on the town with friends.
