10 Symptoms of Alzheimer’s in its Early Stages – You Shouldn’t Ignore!
The medical experts say that the Alzheimer’s disease causes more worry for people over the age of 55 than any other condition. Suspecting you or a loved one may be exhibiting signs of Alzheimer’s can be a stressful and emotional experience. But, you shouldn’t be worried and just because you forget things, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have Alzheimer’s. Even when you fear the worst, the earlier you seek help, the better your chances of getting the care you need and maximizing your quality of life.
According to the latest statistics, the Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia, a serious brain disorder that impacts daily living through memory loss and cognitive changes. Although not all memory loss indicates Alzheimer’s disease, one in ten people over 65 years of age, and over half of those over 85 have Alzheimer’s disease. And, unfortunately, currently, 26 million people worldwide have this dementia, and over 15 million Americans will be affected by the year 2050.
