It may be hard to know the difference between a typical age-related change and the first sign of Alzheimer’s disease. To help identify problems early, the Alzheimer’s Association created a list of warning signs for Alzheimer’s. Individuals may experience one or more of these signs in different degrees. Hopefully, after listening to this presentation, you are able to help identify the 10 signs and increase the changes of early dianosis in a loved one.
