What Is Alzheimer's Disease?
1. What Are the Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease?
The first signs of Alzheimer’s disease may appear as a growing tendency toward forgetfulness. The details of recent conversations or events may become harder or impossible to remember. Items such as car keys and cellphones may be misplaced more often and show up in unexpected places.
As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, the ability to function at work can be lost. At the moderate stage of the disease, an individual may become confused and find it difficult to learn how to perform new tasks. When it progresses to its severe stage, the ability to communicate effectively may be lost.
