Alzheimer’s or “senior moments?”

 

Memory Care Ann Arbor

Everyone can have a bad day, but there’s a difference between a minor episode compared to frequent issues with the following:

  • Brain freeze: forgetting the rules of a game, losing your train of thought, or forgetting where you’re going are part of normal human experience, but the frequency and severity of these episodes can foreshadow a problem.
  • Confusion: forgetting an appointment is normal but forgetting the appointment location — or how to get there — can signal a warning.
  • Losing things: we’ve all misplaced our keys, but misplacing objects daily may be a concern.

Alzheimer’s or neurological symptoms?

Neurological problems can be a warning sign for Alzheimer’s and dementia. If you’re having problems with your motor skills, it’s worth visiting a doctor:

  • Major changes in personality: big changes from financial decision-making to personal grooming
  • Physical changes: reading is suddenly difficult, or judging distance or discerning color seems a challenge
  • Trouble speaking or writing: struggles with following a conversation or repeating oneself
