I know from experience that the early signs of Alzheimer’s may be easy to attribute to simple aging. It’s important, though, to recognize the signs of Alzheimer’s and get help as early as possible. According to WebMD here are some of the early signs of Alzheimer’s:

• Memory: For most Alzheimer’s patients in early stages, long-term memories remain intact while short-term memories become sketchy.
• Speech: Alzheimer’s disrupts speech, so patients may struggle to remember common words.
• Behavior: Even in its early stages, Alzheimer’s can cause confusion and behavior changes. People with the disease may get lost in familiar places and suffer from mood swings.

Help for Families of People with Alzheimer’s

No one wants to face the possibility of a loved one being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. However, early intervention is always best, both for the patient and his or her family. Consulting a doctor when consistent signs of Alzheimer’s are present can help everyone.
