27855

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.

8Impaired Judgment

A person with AD will begin to make decisions that seem silly, irresponsible, or even inappropriate and are a marked departure from past behavior, such as dressing improperly for the weather or no longer being able to assess for themselves what is safe.

The earliest changes in judgment usually involve money. So people who were generally very cautious with their finances will start spending in unusual ways, like giving money to unworthy strangers like telemarketers, or withholding money they should pay, because they incorrectly believe their utility company is suddenly untrustworthy.
