Early signs of these conditions can affect routine functioning, as they include forgetting names, difficulty with daily routines, inability to locate items, and poor judgement. These diseases often send affected individuals into hiding, creating isolation due to fear of judgement or dealing with the world, while other patients may still try to go for a walk but instead end up wandering and lost.
