Alzheimer's Disease early signs and Symptoms

The early symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease can be hard to notice since some change in memory is normal as we grow older, but the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease are more than simple lapses in memory.

  1. Forgetting recently learned information is one of the most common early signs of dementia. A person begins to forget more often and is unable to recall the information later. 
  2. Asking the same question over and over.
  3. People with dementia often find it hard to plan or complete everyday tasks. Individuals may lose track of the steps involved in preparing a meal, placing a telephone call or playing a game.
  4. Forgetfulness and attempts to disguise frequent forgetting
  5. Recent memory loss that affects job skills.
  6. Difficulty concentrating
  7. Inability to recall words and difficulty with language.
  8. Problems with simple arithmetic
  9. Disorientation of time and place.
  10. Difficulty with tasks that require fine motor ability, such as putting a key in the keyhole or buttoning a shirt
