10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease

1) Memory Changes that disrupt daily life
2) Challenges in planning or solving problems
3) Difficulty completing familiar tasks
4) Confusion with time or place
5) Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
6) New problems with words in speaking or writing
7) Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
8) Decreased poor judgment
9) Withdrawal from work or social activities
10) Changes in mood and personality


Your memory often changes as you grow older.  But memory loss that disrupts daily life is not a typical part of aging.   It may be a symptom of dementia.  Dementia is a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills.  The most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease.
