Signs of Dementia and Early Alzheimer’s Symptoms
It’s not an easy subject, but learning the differences between normal “senior moments” and early signs of Alzheimer’s disease or dementia is very important. Early awareness can maximize one of your most valuable resources in maintaining brain health: time.
The earlier you notice signs of Alzheimer’s disease, the sooner you and your loved ones can take action. Time allows you to plan for future care, participate in research or clinical trials, and make healthy lifestyle changes that may help delay symptoms. There are many actions you can take to help sustain daily life with Alzheimer’s.
