Alzheimer’s disease is an illness that is devastating to the patient and the patient’s family. This disease affects many people emotionally and physically. Treatment can be started if the illness is detected early, and this is possible if you know what to look for. The most common symptom of Alzheimer’s is memory loss, not normal memory loss, but a loss that disrupts day to day life. The patient may demonstrate a problem planning things or solving problems, a difficult time with familiar tasks at home and work, confusion about a time or place, they start having problems understanding what they are seeing, problems following a conversation or speaking, misplacing things and unable to retrace steps, poor judgement, socially isolated and a change in their personality. If someone that you love is suffering from any of these signs, even if it is just one, talk to their doctor about it. If this disease is caught during the early symptoms, it may be possible to treat it with medications. Letting the illness continue without intervention will cause the patient to not be diagnosed until it is too late to treat with medications. Don’t let symptoms go unchecked no matter how small it may be.
