Study Finds Apathy can signal the onset of dementia years before other symptoms appear CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom Apathy can be a dangerous warning sign for many conditions tied to mental health. While the loss of interest and motivation typically signals the onset of depression, hormone changes, or other mental conditions, a new study finds it may also be a red flag for dementia. Researchers from the University of Cambridge say feelings of apathy can predict if someone will develop dementia years before symptoms like memory loss ever appear. Frontotemporal dementia is one of the leading causes of dementia in younger patients. Doctors typically diagnose the condition in patients between 45 and 65 years-old. This form of cognitive decline can also affect behavior, language, and personality. Patients can begin to act more impulsively and engage in inappropriate or compulsive behavior.
