Sign & Symptoms: Alzheimer’s vs. Aging

How can you tell if it is Alzheimer’s? Not everyone who experiences memory loss is suffering from Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia. Signs of dementia can include:

• Impaired focus
• Uncharacteristic mood changes
• Difficulty finding the right words to use
• Repetition of sentences and tasks
• short-term memory loss

The best way to know for certain is to consult a physician. There are currently medications available to help slow the progression but there is not a cure for this disease.
