Alzheimer’s – Screening, Detection, and Diagnosis

Not all memory issues are signs of Alzheimer’s disease. Screening is essential to determine whether symptoms are a normal part of aging or something more serious. There are many ways to evaluate symptoms, but all share a common goal: identifying potential causes early and providing more options if you receive a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia.
