My First Year of residency Here at THD has taught me that a few of the residents here are experiencing early Alzheimer's symptoms. A few residents are forgetful and others repeat their questions after 2-3 minutes. I was curious so I did some search. Here are the 10 early signs of AZ.
1. Memory Loss that Disrupts Daily Life
2. Difficulty completing familiar task
3. New Problems with speaking and writing
4. Disorientation with Time or Place
5. Poor or Decreased Judgement
6. Challenges in Problem Solving
7. Misplacing Things or Losing Ability to retrace Steps
8. Changes in Mood and Personality
9. Withdrawal from Social Activities
10. Loss of Initiative and Vision Changes
If you are experiencing any one of the above. Please consult your Physician. There are now an Approved FDA💚 drugs that remove plaque from the brain, which could delay progress of AZ to more serious stages.
