【放置禁止】こんな運転は認知症のサインかも…危ない異変５つ

"I feel like their driving has changed a little recently." "My family member's driving has become more frightening than before." Such changes may not be simply due to aging or fatigue, but could be related to dementia, mild cognitive impairment, or changes in the brain. Of course, you can't immediately conclude that someone has dementia just because their driving has worsened. There are many causes that can affect driving, including decreased vision, cataracts, hearing loss, medication effects, sleep deprivation, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and hypoglycemia. However, driving is an activity that involves a comprehensive combination of brain functions: seeing, judging, remembering, reacting, and operating. Therefore, changes in driving can sometimes be a sign of the early stages of dementia or mild cognitive impairment. This time, we will explain five "dangerous driving abnormalities" that should raise the possibility of dementia. Please read to the end, not only for your own driving, but also as a perspective for monitoring the driving of family members and those close to you. 0:00 Introduction 0:41 Important Things to Know First 3:15 Sign 1 of Possible Dementia in Driving 5:45 Sign 2 of Possible Dementia in Driving 7:59 Sign 3 of Possible Dementia in Driving 10:19 Sign 4 of Possible Dementia in Driving 12:45 Sign 5 of Possible Dementia in Driving 14:35 What to Do If You Notice Signs of Possible Dementia in Driving?

Solutions 3-5 20:45 Summary The presence of just one of the five signs discussed here does not necessarily mean that someone has dementia. However, if there is a clear change compared to before, multiple signs apply, family members or those around the person feel that their driving is dangerous, or if accidents or near misses are increasing, it is important to have them checked. Suggested sources of consultation include your family doctor, a memory clinic, a neurologist, a psychiatrist, or a geriatrician. Furthermore, if your family is experiencing difficulties, you can also consult with the local community comprehensive support center or the safe driving consultation desk at the driver's license center. The important thing is not to blame the individual, but to move towards safer driving practices before an accident occurs. We hope this will serve as an opportunity for you and your family to re-evaluate your own driving habits. *Related Videos ▼Eye Abnormalities in People Approaching Stroke    • 【放置禁止】脳梗塞が近い人に起こる５つの「目の異変」　見逃すとどうなるかと予防も医師が解説   ▼Characteristics of People Whose Brains Don't Age    • 【放置禁止】知らないと絶対後悔「70代以降も脳が老化しない人の10の特徴」を専門医が解説   ▼Signs of Early Dementia    • 【若くてもなる】認知症の兆しは実は9年前から！　認知症が疑わしい言動や性格、症状10...   ▼Five Ways to Prevent Dementia    • 【2万5千人を診た医師が伝える】認知症にならない人がしている5つの習慣【実例を紹介】   ▼Video on Side Effects of Blood Pressure Medication    • 【注意】日本でよく飲まれているアムロジピンという薬の７つの副作用　専門医師が降圧薬の...   *This video is not intended for the diagnosis of dementia.
