The Alzheimer's Association Lists These 10 Warning Signs of the Disease.
1. Recent memory loss that affects job performance. Frequently forgetting assignments, names and phone numbers and not remembering them later.
2. Difficulty performing familiar tasks. Forgetting all the steps necessary to complete a simple task, such as setting the table.
3. Problems with language. Forgetting the meaning of simple words, using familiar words inappropriately.
4. Disorientation of time and place. Becoming confused in familiar surroundings, losing a sense of time passing.
5. Poor or decreased judgment. Making poor decisions, such as leaving a child alone or dressing inappropriately.
6. Problems with abstract thinking. Difficulty calculating numbers, handling money, thinking conceptually.
7. Misplacing things. Placing items in inappropriate places such as an iron in the freezer and then being unable to retrieve them.
8. Changes in mood or behavior. Rapid, unexplained mood swings.
9. Changes in personality. Changes in character traits, such as going from being outgoing to becoming withdrawn and fearful.
10. Loss of initiative. Becoming passive or reluctant to get involved in activities.
These behavioral changes may also be symptoms of other dementia that are reversible with a doctor's care. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these symptoms, see your physician for diagnosis and help.
