What are common symptoms?
Alzheimer’s disease is a type of progressive brain disease that causes problems with:
Memory
Forgetting names or information
you just learned.
Language
Struggling to find the right word.
Thinking
Difficulty concentrating and
keeping track of bills.
You may know those symptoms as “dementia.” Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia.
Memory problems are
often the first sign
People with early Alzheimer’s
disease may have other
symptoms beyond
forgetfulness
that may be noticed by close
friends and family.
Poor judgment
Forgetting what day it is
Having a hard time
completing tasks
Repeating questions
Difficulty planning and
problem-solving
Getting lost
Misplacing items or putting things in odd places
Changes in personality
Not knowing where
you are
This is not a complete list of symptoms of early Alzheimer's disease. Only a healthcare provider can diagnose early Alzheimer's disease.
Do these signs sound familiar?
It's important to identify early what could be behind your or your loved one's symptoms.
A neurologist can help determine if it's early Alzheimer's disease.
What happens in the brain early on?
Alzheimer’s disease is a brain condition that gets worse over time. It may happen when a protein called amyloid continuously builds up in your brain, forming harmful amyloid brain plaque. Though there are different types of amyloid proteins, all of them can damage brain cells.
