Major Alzheimer's Disease Warning Signs

Losing A Sense Of The Present Moment

Individuals with Alzheimer's disease frequently focus a lot of time on past events. They may spend protracted periods of time discussing people and places they knew long ago. While healthy seniors enjoy reminiscing about the past too, Alzheimer's disease creates confusion.

A woman with Alzheimer's disease may mistake her daughter-in-law for her sister or her grammar school teacher. She may become upset suddenly and begin crying because she recalled an argument that occurred during high school many years ago. If a loved one confuses the past and the present frequently, consulting with a medical specialist remains a wise idea. Caring for a dementia patient becomes easier with an accurate diagnosis.
