Everyone struggles to come up with a name once in a while. But how can you tell if it’s more serious?. One symptom alone does not necessarily indicate that a person has Alzheimer’s or dementia. Dementia is a chronic loss of cognition, usually affecting memory, and Alzheimer’s causes 50 to 80 percent of dementia cases.
There are many other causes of memory loss, including vitamin B12 deficiency, and brain, thyroid, kidney, or liver disorders. However, having several other symptoms could be a sign of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The list of symptoms are well organized; you should press the next button below each symptom to move to the next one.
10Change in Personality
If you suddenly find yourself hating things you used to love or letting go of essential items, you may have early Alzheimer’s.
This is one of the first ways that the disease robs people of things that they love. Watch for shifts in your personality and ask the people around you to verify these changes as well.
The mood and personalities of people with Alzheimer’s can change. They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious.
They may be easily upset at home, at work, with friends, or in places where they are out of their comfort zone.
