Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of Dementia are not a normal part of aging, it is a disease and it is deadly.
The early symptoms of Alzheimer’s are very similar to common symptoms of aging. You may notice that your memory and cognitive ability aren’t as good as they used to be, and tasks that were once easy to do are now more difficult.
Memory loss is also an early sign of Alzheimer’s, since the disease starts in the part of the brain that deals with learning. As the disease progresses, it begins affecting other parts of the brain and can lead to mood swings, disorientation, confusion, and even difficulty speaking or walking.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s, but there are several treatments currently undergoing clinical research that aim to cure the disease or treat its symptoms.
