Dementia's Silent Warning


Listen Later

Did you know that sudden, unexplained generosity could be a silent warning sign for early dementia? What seems like harmless kindness might actually signal cognitive changes that put your loved one—and their finances—at risk. In this video, I uncover how this subtle behavior can reveal deeper issues, and more importantly, what you can do to protect your loved ones. 🧠💸

Here’s what you’ll learn: 

✔️ What is unexplained generosity? Understand why sudden or excessive giving might indicate changes in judgment and decision-making.

✔️ The brain’s role in impulsive generosity. How dementia impacts the prefrontal cortex and leads to financial risks.

✔️ Real-life caregiving stories. Hear how I navigated these challenges with my own dad.

✔️ Practical steps to safeguard finances. From monitoring bank accounts to setting up alerts and involving professionals like elder law attorneys. 

✔️ How to have tough conversations. Learn how to talk with your loved one about their giving habits without creating conflict.

🔑 Key Takeaway: Unexplained generosity isn’t just about finances—it’s a silent warning sign of cognitive decline that requires your attention. Protect your loved one and your family’s financial security by staying proactive and informed.
