Alzheimer’s disease is considered to be one of the scariest diseases in human history. It is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that worsens over time, causes the body to lose its functions and eventually leads to death.
In this article, we will mention the most important warning signs that indicate the approach of Alzheimer’s disease:
1- Difficulty in planning, solving tests and managing numbers:
You certainly won’t be doing complex calculations or professional planning, but having a hard time calculating some easy numbers and doing very simple calculations or not being able to tell when to do something due to little or no concentration are not good signs.
2- Difficulty doing traditional business:
A person loses the ability to perform routine tasks, for example, a person with Alzheimer’s may suddenly lose their way home or forget how to carry out their favorite activity that they always did.
3- Feeling anxious and showing signs of depression:
Anxiety is a symptom of depression and a possible early sign of Alzheimer’s disease and is linked to elevated levels of beta-amyloid in the brain – an amino acid found in abundance in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients – leading to future dementia.
4- Difficulty in locating and losing the ability to perceive time:
People with Alzheimer’s disease lose track of time and it is difficult for them to know the day or time or identify the different months of the year.
5- Vision problems:
For some people, vision problems can be an early symptom of Alzheimer’s disease and manifest as reading difficulties, loss of the ability to judge distances, identify colors, and difficulty concentrating on text while reading.
