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.
12Withdrawal from Friends
It can be challenging to maintain friendships with memory loss looming over your actions. If you find yourself making up reasons not to see your friends, you may be trying to avoid an embarrassing situation.
Listen to your friends if they say you never come out anymore and mention your concerns to a doctor.
AD can be a lonely and isolating disease that can result in a general lack of interest in surrounding activities or withdrawal from family and friends.
People with AD may start to remove themselves from hobbies, social events, work projects, or sports they previously loved, perhaps because they forget how to perform their favorite pastimes, like knitting or playing the piano.
