Alzheimer's Dementia: Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia, a progressive deterioration of brain function that destroys memory and thinking skills. Early symptoms can be short-term memory lapses and problems with word-finding. Physical changes in the brain accompany worsening memory, confusion, language, sensory processing, learning, and conscious thought. For further info: http://tinyurl.Com/7gwkcq3.

Short term memory: Ad is characterized initially difficulty learning and retaining new information. One can also have behavioral changes such as irritability, anxiety. Anyone exhibiting these changes should see a doctor for a complete evaluation including blood work, review of meds and depression screen. Ad is not the only type of cognitive disorder. Others include vascular disease of the brain, lewy body dz, etc.
