The very first and main sign of Alzheimer's disease is the memory loss of , which already affects its vital activity. This does not mean that a person forgot about some kind of meeting or date, the timing of doing any work. It is a question of too frequent cases of forgetfulness, confusion, absent-mindedness.

The next symptom to look out for is the appearance in the patient of difficulties with the usual everyday affairs of .Here the main thing is not to mix up the cases when any person is peculiar to be distracted when doing any tasks.

The next sign of Alzheimer's disease is problems with speech.

As a result of the progression of this disease, may change the personality of .Suppose a sociable, friendly, brave person becomes frightened, suspicious, embittered at some particular moment.
The next symptom is the loss of the initiative. That is, we all get tired of some work, but with time, having rested, we start again. A person diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease loses interest in everything that he did before.

Some random manifestations of absent-mindedness usually cause a smile and are attributed to the age of the patient. Then, in time, these people start having problems because of the inability to express themselves, that is, to choose the right words. More and more often you notice shortages of short-term memory, the patient can not remember recent episodes, events, names of familiar people.
