World Alzheimer's Day 2023: What Are The 7 Alzheimer's Disease Warning Signs? Details Inside
Are you aware of the ticking time bomb that could be lurking within your mind? World Alzheimer's Day 2023, observed on 21 September ever year, is here to shed light on this crucial issue.
The World Alzheimer's Day 2023 theme, 'Never too early, never too late,' urges us to think: Is it ever too early or too late to safeguard our cognitive health? What if there were clear signs, visible well before the storm hit?
Let's understand the seven warning signs of Alzheimer's Disease, empowering you to take charge of your brain health.
What Are The 7 Alzheimer's Disease Warning Signs?
1. Memory loss
Memory loss is often the first subtle signal that something might be amiss. It's not about occasionally misplacing your keys; it is forgetting recently learned information, or important dates, or repeatedly asking the same questions. If this is happening, it's time to take note [1].
2. Difficulty solving problems and making plans
Are you/your loved one finding it increasingly challenging to solve problems or make plans, tasks that used to come naturally? If you struggle with following familiar recipes or managing your bills, it could be a red flag.
3. Confusion with time and place
Losing track of dates, seasons, or the passage of time can be disorienting. Alzheimer's might manifest as difficulty understanding something that is not happening in the present moment.
4. Trouble with familiar tasks
Simple, routine tasks like driving to a familiar location or managing finances might suddenly become daunting. If you notice these difficulties, it is time to pay attention.
5. Changes in vision or speech
Vision problems related to Alzheimer's might include difficulty reading, judging distance, or determining colour contrast. Additionally, some individuals may struggle with their vocabulary, forgetting words or repeating themselves.
6. Misplacing things and losing the ability to retrace steps
A common sign of Alzheimer's is putting things in unusual places and then struggling to retrace your steps to find them. This goes beyond normal absent-mindedness.
7. Decreased judgement and withdrawal from work or social activities
Alzheimer's can lead to poor judgement, such as giving away large sums of money to telemarketers. You might also notice a withdrawal from work or social activities, as keeping up with them becomes too challenging.
On A Final Note...
On this World Alzheimer's Day 2023, remember that it is 'Never too early, never too late' to take control of your cognitive health.
