10 Early Signs of Alzheimer's Disease
Here are 10 early signs of Alzheimer's disease that allow you to recognize the cognitive degenerative condition at an early stage and get the right treatment. An early diagnosis is very important in order to be able to slow down the development of Alzheimer's and get the most out of treatment and adjustments. None of these signs on their own mean that you have Alzheimer's, but if you experience more of the symptoms, we recommend that you contact your GP for a consultation. You can read more about exciting new research regarding the treatment of Alzheimer's here if desired.

1. Memory failure that interferes with everyday life
One of the most common symptoms of Alzheimer's is memory loss and especially forgetfulness of newly learned information. Other signs of memory loss can be that you forget important dates (eg birthdays of children and friends or the wedding anniversary), ask about things repeatedly, you have to constantly turn to Google or other "memory help" to remember names or information. The latter is often called «Google dementia«, And means that you do the brain a real disservice by retrieving forgotten information in this way - as the brain learns that 'this is how we retrieve information now' by not actually using the brain links - which leads us to the saying "use it or lose it".
Normal age-related changes: That you forget some names and appointments temporarily - but that you remember them later.
2. Impaired ability to solve problems and tasks
Some people may experience a reduced ability to handle normal daily planned tasks and tasks - or a reduced ability to work with numbers. They may also experience a lack of concentration and that they spend significantly more time on tasks than they did before.
Normal age-related changes: It is common to make some mistakes here and there when it comes to numbers.
3. Daily chores become difficult
The person can forget things they have been able to for a long time, such as the way to the store or the rules of the favorite sport.
Normal age-related changes: It is common to be able to forget some technically difficult things such as the correct settings on the microwave and the TV.
4. Problems with time and place
Do you know someone who is constantly losing track of what day it is? It can be an early sign of dementia. People can also forget where they are or how they get home.
Normal age-related changes: It is common to temporarily forget what day it is, and then remember it later.
5. Impaired ability to have a conversation or perceive things
People with Alzheimer's may have difficulty following or participating in a conversation - they may stop in the middle of a sentence and not know what to say next. It can also be noted that the person does not find the right word and then 'invents' descriptive words for the object.
Normal age-related changes: Sometimes you may have trouble finding the right words.
Impaired and impaired vision can be an early sign of Alzheimer's. Especially the assessment of distance, color understanding and contrast can be affected.
Normal age-related changes: Vision naturally weakens with age. For example. by cataracts.
Do you often post things in the weirdest places and forget where you put them? This may be an early sign of Alzheimer's.
People affected by Alzheimer's can sometimes make strange choices in everyday life. Eg. Be tricked by phone sellers or donate high sums of money for a purpose they do not know what is.
9. Withdrawal from Social Life
A person suffering from Alzheimer's can retire from their hobbies, social activities, work projects and sports. They may have trouble following their favorite team or remembering how to carry out their favorite hobby.
What is normal: Everyone can feel a little tired and tired of social events, work and hobbies sometimes.
