The Main Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease

From my previous blog, I talked about the simple risks of Alzheimer’s that can take peoples’ lives. To refresh your mind from it, the risks were either unavoidable or avoidable. In this blog, I am going to explore the symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease.

To start off, one of the top symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease is worsened ability to take in and remember new information. For an example, misplacing personal belongings, forgetting events, and getting lost on a familiar route. Another symptom is impairments to reasoning, complex tasking, exercising judgment. Examples of these are poor decision making and inability to manage finances. This symptom is hard for the diseased ones because they can get frustrated after they do something wrong. Other symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease is impaired visualization abilities. This symptom can be one of the hardest symptoms for close ones to the diseased ones because sometimes the diseased can forget who their close friends or family are. Then the closed ones feel sad because they are forgotten. People with Alzheimer’s Disease are unable to recognize faces or common objects. The last main symptoms are impaired speaking, reading, and writing, and changes in personality and behavior. Examples of both of these symptoms are difficult thinking of common words when speaking, hesitation, loss of empathy, and socially unacceptable behavior. Any of these symptoms I said above, can occur with an Alzheimer’s Disease patient.

“ The most common presentation marking Alzheimer’s dementia is where symptoms of memory loss are the most prominent, especially in the area of learning and recalling new information,” stated from Medical News Today. From said above, all these symptoms can occur with Alzheimer’s Disease.
