If you are worried about your own or someone else's memory make an appointment with your GP, or encourage the other person to speak to their GP. The sooner that dementia is diagnosed, the sooner you can get help and support with it.
You can find out more about dementia on the NHS website and you can see how a GP can help on the Alzheimer's Society website.
There are a range of services that you can use to support your wellbeing and connect with others. For more information, visit the Services, Advice and Guidance for adults page.
