As we age, many of us experience
occasional memory loss. While it may be
worrisome, most likely it is just a normal part of growing
older. In the case of
Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia, a common indicator of the disease is memory
loss that happens so often it disrupts daily life. The Alzheimer’s Association lists 10 warning
signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s and recommends if you or a loved one has any
of them, to see your health care provider.
The first sign that you or a loved
one’s memory loss may be a sign of a bigger problem is constantly
forgetting new information. Memory loss may
include: needing to have the same information repeated over and over;
forgetting important dates and events; and relying more and more on family
members or memory aids to handle things.
Another way memory loss can adversely
affect a person’s life is when it becomes difficult to problem solve. He or she may find it hard to do things they
have done well in the past such as keeping track of monthly bills or following
a recipe. Some individuals with
Alzheimer’s have problems losing their way when traveling familiar routes or
keeping track of the month or season of the year. Also, a person may start putting things away
in odd places and not remember where they put them. We encourage you to read the Alzheimer’s Association’s
full list of common signs of Alzheimer’s.
