"Developing a bizarre sense of humor is an early sign of dementia." Health News
Interesting! Especially, according to this online article, if the humor is slap stick. My loved one did seem to develop more and more a slap stick sense of humor, but I am not sure if he always had that. It was, at least, more pronounced before the dementia got him in its clutches and destroyed all sense of humor. The reason for considering symptoms besides loss of memory is that we can diagnose dementia earlier and perhaps stall its progression longer.

This blog is written to provide information and support to persons who are providing care for someone with dementia. A first indicator of dementia is when someone has trouble doing a task once familiar and easy for them. If you have begun to be concerned about someone's memory or cognitive processing, help the person receive a physical exam, to include lab work, and an appointment with a neuropsychologist for an evaluation of memory and cognitive processing.
