That’s another attention-grabbing headline, but it can be made accurate and responsible. Alzheimer’s signs are not a diagnosis, especially early on. Here’s a clear, factual version with proper context.
7 Early Signs of Alzheimer’s Disease (that warrant attention)
These signs can have many causes (stress, depression, sleep issues, vitamin deficiencies). Seeing one or two does not mean someone has Alzheimer’s.
1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life
Frequently forgetting recently learned information and needing constant reminders.
2. Difficulty planning or solving problems
Trouble following familiar recipes, managing bills, or concentrating.
3. Problems completing familiar tasks
Getting lost while driving a known route or forgetting how to use common appliances.
4. Confusion with time or place
Losing track of dates, seasons, or where they are.
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relationships
Difficulty reading, judging distance, or identifying contrasts.
6. Problems with words in speaking or writing
Struggling to follow conversations or repeating the same words.
7. Changes in mood, personality, or judgment
Becoming unusually confused, suspicious, withdrawn, or making poor decisions.
