Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease and is difficult to detect in the early stages.
Alzheimer’s sets in slowly, with minor signs and signals at first. It gradually displays more serious
symptoms until all aspects of the disease are manifest. The appearance of Alzheimer’s symptoms or
signs do not necessarily indicate a particular stage of the disease. You should have a thorough medical
examination of any changes in you that might provide clues of the onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
The early signs of Alzheimer’s disease are only able to be recognized by doctors who are knowledgeable
about the disease.
You will only realize that you have it after clear symptoms begin to show.
POSSIBLE Indicators of Alzheimer’s Disease
Early Symptoms
• Absentmindedness
• Forgetting familiar names
• Unable to concentrate on anything
• Unable to recall events of a few hours ago
Developing Symptoms
• Puzzled feelings
• Loss of memory
• Forgetful of daily tasks like brushing teeth, washing hands or combing hair
• Unable to read or speak clearly and stammering
• Need to focus immensely to think about anything
• Unable to express yourself in ordinary conversation
• Difficulty in doing routine tasks involving muscular movements
• Confusion about normal routines leading to misplacing simple things
• Irritability
• Difficulty in proper vision or similar functions involving nerves of your body
• Unable to dress properly
• Cannot recollect date, day or time
• Disinterested in any previously enjoyed activities or interactions
• Difficulty in simple calculations like bill payments or groceries
• Unable to understand or grasp whatever is being read
Serious Symptoms
• Regular bouts of depression with indifference to everyone and everything
• Anxious feelings leading to uncertainty
• Aggressiveness leading to violence and physical abuse
• Bored and uninterested in doing anything
• Straying from familiar physical surroundings, and unable to remember your house, location, or where
any of your family members live.
• Arguing unnecessarily
• Marked changes in your personality
• Suspicious of everything and everybody
• Incontinence and unable to control body functions like bowel and bladder movements
• Unable to swallow edibles easily
• Total lack of any reasoning power
• Fully dependent on others for daily routine
• Some Alzheimer’s patients become bedridden, from being weak and vulnerable to associated diseases.
• Extremely uncooperative
These symptoms develop as damage to the brain disrupts its normal working and it becomes less able to
control vital body functions. The disease progresses gradually.
It is best to look into treatment options in early stages. This will help you control advancement of
Alzheimer’s disease while you are in a position to understand the implications of lack of treatment.
Otherwise, deterioration becomes faster. You cannot do much at later stages. It is very painful to watch
as your loved one’s condition continues to get worse.
Although the average time span of Alzheimer’s disease ranges between six to eight years, it can, in
reality, be anywhere from two to twenty years. The end is always in death, which could be also be
primarily due to other illnesses like heart diseases, pneumonia, or other old age problems.
Some patients die from such associated diseases before they reach the final stages of Alzheimer’s
disease.
Ten Warning Signs of Alzheimer's Disease
The Alzheimer's Association puts forward ten main warning signs as a checklist to educate all family
members. This helps you to understand if anyone in the family may be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
You can then get further investigation by qualified medical people and more help if you or your loved one
is showing the signs on this list:
Loss of Memory: It is natural for the elderly to forget some names or things. Sometimes, Alzheimer’s
patients are unable to recollect recent events. One of the most common signs is when people do not
remember any part at all of a memorable personal event.
Language and Communication Skills: Alzheimer’s disease patients lose their mastery over language
and cannot communicate well. They use vague words which can be incomprehensible to others. They also
forget simple words used in daily conversations. They cannot express themselves properly and clearly.
Normally, old people fumble for words only occasionally. If you see your loved one stumbling more and
more often, one possibility is that they might have A.D.
Regular and Routine Jobs: Alzheimer’s disease makes people incapable of planning or thinking about
their daily routine. They cannot complete regular and normal tasks like making telephone calls, cooking a
meal, etc. They turn ‘blank’ at times and cannot remember why or what they were doing or thinking of
doing.
Impaired Judgment Capacity: Sometimes, old people make vague decisions. If you have Alzheimer’s
disease, you are prone to making irrational decisions regularly - like giving away huge sums of money
without reason or wearing improper clothing which is unsuitable for the weather conditions.
Personality Changes: A person's personality does change with age. As a person ages, they are much
more sure of who they are and can become more dignified and command greater respect with age.
However, people with Alzheimer’s disease undergo drastic personality changes like becoming confused
and dependent on family members, or suspicious of everything and everybody, or scared of everything.
Familiarity with Surroundings: Alzheimer’s disease patients forget their own neighborhood, lose their
way and may wander anywhere. They may not be able to find their way back home or remember how
they got somewhere. If you have a loved one with this disease, get them a bracelet with their address
and phone number.
Reluctance to Do Anything: Alzheimer’s disease patients are disinterested in anything around them
and they may sit in front of TV for hours at a stretch, but not even follow the program which they are
watching.
Misplacement: Although it is common for you to misplace things at times, people with Alzheimer’s
disease put things in the most unusual places like keys in refrigerator or a coin purse in a sugar bowl, or
even in the garbage.
Abrupt Changes in Mood: Although you feel moody at times, patients with Alzheimer’s disease develop
sharp changes in their moods.
Thinking Abilities: People with Alzheimer’s disease find it difficult to do mental calculations. Most older
people can keep their mental faculties sharp.
