Know the Early Signs of Alzheimer's Disease

There are two types of people in this world. Those who want to know when something is wrong with them or the ones they love, and those that prefer to ignore the problem. The first is harder, much harder. It means facing the truth head on and taking your lumps, whatever they may be.

The alternative is easier, at first, but the repercussions of avoiding early detection mean a much more rapid slide into dementia, without drugs that can slow the disease down and enhance functioning. True, there is no final cure for the disease just yet, but early detection can give a much longer time with low to no symptoms. 

Don't be alarmed if you feel like you have one or two of these symptoms, they may have different causes such as natural aging. But this should be a list you're aware of, especially if they persist or worsen.

THIS IS ONLY FOR INFORMATION, ALWAYS CONSULT YOU PHYSICIAN BEFORE HAVING ANY PARTICULAR FOOD/ MEDICATION/EXERCISE/OTHER REMEDIES.

Watch for warning signs of Alzheimer’s during the holidays

The holiday season can be an especially important time of year to take a closer look at the physical and cognitive health of family and friends.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, spending time with loved ones who may not see each other regularly throughout the year provides a great opportunity for a fresh perspective on health and behavior changes.

Cognitive changes can occur with age; however, memory problems that impact daily living are not a part of typical aging. Recognizing the differences between normal aging and potentially more serious problems can help to identify when it may be time to see a doctor.

An important part of an early Alzheimer’s diagnosis is spotting warning signs and bringing them to the attention of a medical professional. Individuals may experience one or more of these signs: Memory loss that disrupts daily life; challenges in planning or solving problems; difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work or at leisure; confusion with time or place; trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships; new problems with words in speaking or writing; misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps; decreased or poor judgment; withdrawal from work or social activities; or changes in mood and personality.

Once diagnosed, individuals living with the disease can benefit from treatments that may improve symptoms and help them maintain a level of independence longer. Anyone with questions about Alzheimer’s disease, including clinical studies and resources, can contact the Alzheimer’s Association toll-free helpline at 800-272-3900 or visit www.alz.org.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, more than five million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease. By 2050, up to 16 million will have the disease. Of Americans ages 65 and older, one in eight has Alzheimer’s disease and one in three older than 85 has the disease.
