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.
15Difficulty Solving Problems
The ability to work through underlying problem-solving processes is one of the first things to go when you get Alzheimer’s disease.
This means you may be unable to do crosswords, basic math, issues figuring out how to stack plates, or difficulty working the remote.
While these issues can come and go, they are one of the most apparent early warning signs; you need to see a doctor.
