“When the Roads Suddenly Looked Wrong” | Early Signs of Dementia | Lynne Hagan

Описание: In this clip from The Dementia Dialogues, Lynne Hagan shares the moment she first realised something wasn’t quite right.

A nurse by background and used to being independent, Lynne set off for a routine walk to the doctor’s surgery, a route she knew well.

But suddenly, the streets looked familiar… and yet completely wrong.

She knew exactly where she was going.
She knew the destination was only a short distance away.
But something in her brain told her the roads had somehow changed overnight.

That moment of confusion was one of the earliest signs that eventually led to her dementia diagnosis.

In this clip, Lynne talks about:

• The subtle early signs of dementia many people overlook
• Experiencing disorientation in familiar places
• The panic and sensory overload that can come with confusion
• The long journey to diagnosis through memory clinics and testing
• Learning to adjust to symptoms over time

“I knew where I was going… but I was convinced the roads had been replaced.”

Lynne’s story offers an honest and powerful insight into what early dementia symptoms can feel like from the inside.
