These are the main signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease:

Memory loss that disrupts daily life: Memory loss is the most important and common symptom of Alzheimer’s disease. The patient tends to forget recently learned information and will always ask for the same thing over and over again. Here are some memory leak scenarios:

• Unable to identify your children, neighbors, siblings

• Forgetting the routes they travel every day

• Losing things or putting things in unusual places

• Confused about his own hobbies

Inability to solve problems: Sudden change in one’s ability to concentrate. Taking unusually more time to complete family tasks and struggling with the monthly budget, which they used to plan with ease.

Confusing words and language: People with Alzheimer’s may have trouble following or joining a conversation. They often remain silent in between, as they have run out of ideas to continue. Referring to items with the wrong name and struggling to find the correct word.

Confusion about time or place: They come to lose track of the date, time and even their own address. Sometimes they forget where they are and how they got there.

Problems recognizing colors and people: Patients suffering from this chronic neurodegenerative disorder have a vision problem; They find it challenging to identify colors and contrasts.

Constant mood swings: Moods continue to change depending on the situation in which Alzheimer’s patients find themselves. This can make them depressed, confused, upset, and suspicious as it takes them out of their comfort zone.

Some people often mistake these symptoms for age-related changes and mood swings. If you notice any of the warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, it’s best to diagnose it early.

Stages of Alzheimer’s: This disease generally progresses in three stages:

• Early-mild

• Moderate-Medium

• Severe-late

Mild Alzheimer’s disease: Since this is the first and earliest stage of Alzheimer’s disease, a patient may have the ability to function independently. Still, that person will have problems with memory lapses, such as forgetting a few words, their office or home address.

Intermediate stage (moderate): This stage will not allow people to function independently. Although they remember important details of their life, they cannot survive without help, especially when they are away from home.

Severe Alzheimer’s disease (late stage): This is the most severe stage and requires assistance 24 hours a day for those affected. Even though they can pronounce words and phrases, they would still find it difficult to participate in a conversation. Since that person is subjected to a great deal of stress, their personality changes to a great extent.
