Health Tip: Understanding the Signs of Alzheimer’s
By LadyLively on March 1, 2016
As you age, you may get more forgetful, but Alzheimer’s disease is much more than that.
The Alzheimer’s Association explains these warning signs:
- Forgetting information of life-changing importance. This may include new information that you’ve just learned, important information or asking for the same information repeatedly.
- Having difficulty with planning and problem-solving, or difficulty with everyday tasks and chores.
- Getting confused about where you are, the date, or how you got somewhere. You may also have trouble with spatial issues, such as judging distances or reading.
- Having trouble reading and writing, and remembering words.
- Losing things frequently, and being unable to remember where you recently were. You may also make poor decisions and practice poor hygiene.
- Withdrawing socially, or having changes in your personality or mood.
