10 Alzheimer's Symptoms
Symptom #3: Finding Words
Our vocabulary range tends to be somewhere between an astonishing 20,000 – 30,000 words. What’s more is that when we are speaking, we tend to recall the words we need without even having to think about it. This allows us to have discussions with each other and make it clear to others exactly what we mean.
A common symptom of Alzheimer’s disease, however, is the gradual inability to find words. This can even happen to highly intelligent people that usually have a particularly large vocabulary range. It can make it difficult for them to communicate, and this can be very frustrating for the patient.
