What are the warning signs of alzheimer's disease?

10 signs: You can get this information at http://www.Alz.Org/national/documents/checklist_10signs.Pdf.

A change from usual: The diagnosis is far too complicated. "warning signs" is far too complicated. Looking at risk factors such as age, gender, prior head injury, and family history is essential. Forgetting usually recalled information such as names or where i left something etc. Is not risky yet a cause to ask "what's going on new in my life?" those who complain of memory loss= other problems more often then dementia.

Prodromal Alzheimers: Mild cognitive dysfnctn or prodromal may present with mild memory loss, but also can begin 3-5 yrs prior with depression and behavioral change which seems impossible to explain. May also see deterioration in language and organizational skills, early on.. If you have concerns , see your doctor and get evaluation.
