Most dementias affect memory first, but this form of dementia can affect personality and language skills first, affecting memory later on.
Alzheimer's Scotland and the Alzheimer's society provide information about a wide range of memory problems, not just Alzheimer's disease. Further information and leaflets can be found on the Alzheimer's Society website.
