A crucial aspect of this disease is that it starts slowly and worsens over time. Here are some symptoms that can help identify Alzheimer's disease:
Memory loss: This is the most common symptom. Affected individuals begin to have difficulty retaining new information. They forget things about recent events, conversations, etc. Problems with reading, speaking, writing, and arithmetic may also occur.
Cognitive functions: The ability to think, judge, decide, and understand slowly deteriorates. Taking initiative and acting independently becomes difficult. Social skills decline, and individuals begin to experience disorientation with regard to time and/or place.
