- [Dementia: Early Signs, Diagnosis and Treatment Options — A Geriatrician’s Guide](https://www.geriuk.com/dementia-early-signs-diagnosis-and-treatment-options-geriatrician-sheffield/): Dementia is not simply forgetfulness or an inevitable consequence of ageing. It is a clinical syndrome caused by diseases that progressively affect memory, thinking, behaviour and the ability to manage everyday life. The most common cause is Alzheimer's disease, but other types include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease dementia, frontotemporal dementia and mixed dementia. Establishing the correct diagnosis matters because treatment and prognosis differ between these conditions.
- [What Is the Most Common Cause of Dizziness in the Elderly?](https://www.geriuk.com/most-common-cause-dizziness-elderly/): The most common specific cause of vertigo in older people is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) — an inner-ear condition that causes brief episodes of spinning, usually triggered by moving the head. NICE recognises BPPV as the most common cause of vertigo seen in clinical practice.

- [Early Signs of Parkinson’s Disease: Should You Wait for an NHS Appointment?](https://www.geriuk.com/early-signs-parkinsons-disease-nhs-wait/): Early signs of Parkinson’s disease can be subtle and easy to dismiss. A slight tremor in one hand, feeling slower than usual, or increasing stiffness may not seem serious at first.
- [Early Signs of Dementia: What Families in Sheffield Should Not Ignore](https://www.geriuk.com/early-signs-of-dementia-sheffield/): Early Signs of Dementia Sheffield families should recognise include persistent short-term memory loss, repeated questioning, difficulty managing finances, getting lost in familiar places and noticeable behavioural change. These symptoms are progressive and interfere with daily life. They are not a normal part of ageing.
