A member asked:
What can you do to tell someone if you suspect their family member has alzheimer's?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Carefully: You should not mention alzheimer's disease. You can just express your concern about symptoms the person have, e.g., memory problems. You cannot make the diagnosis and the symptoms could be caused by something else. The person should be seen by a physician.
