Does Your Loved One Have Alzheimer's?

Typically, the early signs of Alzheimer's are difficult to detect, as the signs are similar to natural signs of aging. For example, mild memory loss and a lack of concentration is a commonality in people who are of old age. Therefore, it is difficult to depict whether these instances indicate Alzheimer's or effects of natural aging.

Prominent early stage symptoms include:

• Short-term memory loss
• Inability to perform routine tasks, such as brushing one's teeth
• Disorientation
• Difficulty managing personal activities, such as paying bills or making phone calls
• Language difficulties, such as failing to recall words that are used daily
• Mood swings
• Lack of motivation
• Lack of interest in activities that he or she once found enjoyable
