Identifying Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that significantly impacts memory, thinking, and behavior. Early detection is vital for managing symptoms and enhancing the quality of life. Here are ten early signs of Alzheimer’s disease:

1. Memory Loss
Forgetting recently learned information or important dates is a common early sign.

2. Difficulty Planning or Solving Problems
Trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of bills can be indicators.

3. Confusion with Time or Place
Losing track of dates, seasons, and the passage of time is a typical symptom

4. Trouble Understanding Visual Images and Spatial Relationships
Difficulty reading or determining color/contrast may occur.

5. New Problems with Words in Speaking or Writing
Struggling with vocabulary or stopping in the middle of conversations can be frustrating.

6. Misplacing Things and Losing the Ability to Retrace Steps
Putting items in unusual places and being unable to retrace steps is common.

7. Changes in Mood and Personality
Becoming confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious are signs to watch for.

8. Decreased or Poor Judgment
Making poor decisions or showing decreased judgment can indicate early Alzheimer’s.

9. Withdrawal from Work or Social Activities
A person may start to withdraw from hobbies, social activities, or work projects. We encourage and facilitate participation in engaging activities to maintain social connections and interests.
