10 Alzheimer's Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Repetition
When we have completed a task, we will usually cross it off the list and move on. At least until such a time that it needs to be done again. The same occurs when speaking with others and it is usually only necessary to ask questions or provide answers once. Unless we think we were not heard, of course.
A common symptom of Alzheimer’s disease is that the patient begins to repeat words or actions. They might ask the same question more than once in a discussion and not even be aware they have done so. They might also perform certain tasks such as washing, again without being aware that they have already done so.
