Memory Loss That Disrupts Daily Life

You’ve forgotten someone’s name, but then remember it later…

 Is that an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease, or simply an age-related event?

 Forgetting something and then remembering it later is generally age related, but…

 …forgetting recently learned information can be an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease.

 Other warning signs of Alzheimer’s could include:

• Forgetting important dates and events
• Asking the same questions over and over
• Increasing need to rely on memory aids
• Relying on family members for things they used to handle on their own

If any of these early signs are experienced, it’s important to seek a medical diagnosis early.
