Everyone forgets some things sometimes. But, misplacing your car keys, calling your daughter by the wrong name, or forgetting to know where you were going are common memory lapses.
Alzheimer's disease is an illness that affects the brain. It makes large numbers of nerve cells in the brain die. This disease affects a person's ability to remember things, think clearly, and use good judgment.
Alzheimer's disease often starts slowly. Some people don't know they have it. They blame their forgetfulness on "Mom's just getting older". However, over time, their memory problem gets more serious.
Alzheimer's affects everyone in different ways. The timing and level of affectation may be different for each person. It can be hard to determine which stage your loved one is.
This is why it's essential to know the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. If you know them, you can get help right away. These are some signs of the disease:
Since the danger of Alzheimer's increments with age, it's essential to stay aware of the doctor's next visit to allow for screening to detect these early signs.
They may have been able to live on their own with no difficulties. But now, you will see some changes; your loved one will likely have trouble trying to remember people that are important to them, such as close family and friends. It will get hard to learn new things, and basic activities like washing your teeth might be too much for them.
If your loved one is showing these early symptoms, it would be wise to seek medical evaluation. Only a qualified doctor can conclude with high certainty that a person has Alzheimer's disease.
