Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most dangerous diseases of the brain. This disease occurs most often in people over 50 years. Memory loss, diminished intelligence, impaired speech and writing skills are the most common symptoms of this disease.
It is important to diagnose this disease as early as possible, due to the fact that the earlier it is detected the longer people with dementia can remain independent. People often do not want to admit that it is possible to have Alzheimer’s, so they often hide the first symptoms and deny them. There are various tests for Alzheimer’s today, such as the DemTect test, the Clock Test to the Mini-Mental Status Test (MMST), the TFDD to the Short Test Syndrome (SKT), and the Alzheimer’s disease self-test.
Well there is a short test that can help detect the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s. All it takes in this picture with lots of mice, to find the cat. If you find it right away, you have nothing to worry about.
The most common symptoms of Alzheimer’s
Memory loss
The first and most common symptom is memory loss. It is true that due to stress or distraction each of us can forget certain information and there is no need to worry about it. But if a person often forgets information they have learned recently, forgets important dates and events, or asks the same information over and over again, it may be the early stages of Alzheimer’s.
Impaired ability to think and reason correctly
This phenomenon is most often a loss of the ability to assess various factors. For example, a person who has been thrifty all his life, may start spending money unreasonably on items that he does not need at all, not pay bills regularly and so on.
Problems with speaking and writing
People may have trouble following or having a conversation. It often happens that they stop in the middle of a conversation and do not know how to continue or repeat what has already been said, use the wrong words and so on.
Problems with orientation in time and space
People with Alzheimer’s often have trouble navigating time and space, so they can not determine the date or time of year, and in some cases get lost because they forget where they are, how they got there and how to get home.
Mood and behavior changes
Mood swings also occur in these people for no apparent reason. These people become anxious, paranoid, suspicious, confused or scared. It is estimated that about 40% of people with Alzheimer’s disease suffer from depression.
Placing objects in unusual places
Losing objects, placing objects in unusual places, and then not being able to remember where they put them, etc. It is normal for a person to sometimes forget where he left his glasses, but it is not normal to leave them in places like a refrigerator or a shoe rack, and it is also not normal if he accuses other people of stealing them or deliberately hiding them from him personal belongings.
