Alzheimer's and other dementias cause memory, thinking and behavior problems that interfere with daily living. Join us to learn how to recognize common signs of the disease; how to approach someone about memory concerns; the importance of early detection and benefits of a diagnosis; possible tests and assessments for the diagnostic process, and Alzheimer's Association resources.
Additional Information
The Alzheimer's Association provides a list of 10 warning signs of Alzheimer's disease as a guide to help individuals recognize potential early symptoms. The signs include: Memory loss that disrupts daily life: Forgetting important dates or events and relying on memory aids. Challenges in planning or solving problems: Difficulty concentrating, making occasional errors in managing finances or following a recipe. Difficulty completing familiar tasks: Struggling to drive to a familiar location or remember the rules of a favorite game. Confusion with time or place: Losing track of dates, seasons, or the passage of time. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships: Difficulty reading, judging distance, or determining color or contrast. New problems with words in speaking or writing: Trouble following or joining a conversation, repeating themselves, or struggling with vocabulary. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps: Putting items in unusual places and being unable to go back and find them. Decreased or poor judgment: Making poor decisions, such as giving large amounts of money to telemarketers. Withdrawal from work or social activities: Avoiding social events or hobbies that were once enjoyable. Changes in mood and personality: Becoming confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious. It's important to note that experiencing one or more of these signs does not necessarily mean a person has Alzheimer's disease, but consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation is recommended if any of these signs are observed. Early detection and diagnosis can lead to better management of the condition.
