‘Signs of Alzheimer's disease’ Meet the Best Psychiatrists - Dr. Anuja Kelkar (MBBS, MD)

 

Sure, here are 10 common signs of Alzheimer's disease:

1.       Memory loss that disrupts daily life: Forgetfulness that affects daily routines, such as forgetting important dates or events, repeating the same questions, or relying on memory aids.

2.       Challenges in planning or problem-solving: Difficulty in developing and following a plan or working with numbers, such as keeping track of bills or following a recipe.

3.       Difficulty completing familiar tasks: Struggling to complete familiar tasks at home, work, or leisure, such as driving to a familiar location or managing a budget.

4.       Confusion with time or place: Losing track of dates, seasons, or the passage of time, or forgetting where they are or how they got there.

5.       Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships: Difficulty reading, judging distance, or determining color or contrast, which may lead to problems with driving.

6.       New problems with words in speaking or writing: Difficulty following or joining a conversation, or trouble finding the right word to express thoughts.

7.       Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps: Putting things in unusual places and being unable to retrace steps to find them again.

8.       Decreased or poor judgment: Making poor decisions, such as giving large amounts of money to telemarketers or ignoring personal hygiene.

9.       Withdrawal from work or social activities: Losing interest in hobbies, work projects, or social activities, or becoming withdrawn from family and friends.

10.   Changes in mood and personality: Becoming easily confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful, or anxious, especially in situations outside of their comfort zone.

It's important to note that experiencing one or more of these signs doesn't necessarily mean a person has Alzheimer's disease, but if you or someone you know is experiencing several of these symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.
