Early signs of Alzheimer’s disease

Hello everyone!
How are you all doing today?

Memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a normal part of aging—it could be a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease. If you or a loved one are experiencing memory problems or changes in cognitive abilities, it’s important not to ignore them. Consulting a doctor to determine the cause is key.

Here are 10 common signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease:

1. Memory loss that interferes with daily life.
2. Difficulty in planning or solving problems.
3. Struggles with familiar tasks at home, work, or during leisure.
4. Confusion about time or place.
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships.
6. New problems with speaking or writing.
7. Misplacing objects and losing the ability to retrace steps.
8. Decreased or poor judgment.
9. Withdrawal from work or social activities.
10. Changes in mood and personality.

On the positive side, recognizing these symptoms early can lead to timely diagnosis and intervention, offering better management options. On the other hand, it’s challenging for both patients and caregivers as these symptoms often progress, affecting daily functioning and relationships.
