Is It Alzheimer's Disease or Old Age?

Most people become forgetful as they age.  Does this mean that everybody has Alzheimer’s disease?  No!  Here are the top 10 warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

1. Forgetting how to perform tasks at work.
2. Forgetting how to perform simple, everyday tasks at home.
3. Having trouble with language, even forgetting simple words.
4. Being disoriented to time and place.
5. Showing poor judgment.
6. Having problems with thinking.
7. Misplacing things frequently.
8. Having frequent changes in mood or behavior.
9. Showing drastic changes in personality.

Remember...there are other curable conditions that look a lot like AD.  These include vitamin deficiency, stroke, thyroid disease, infections, depression, and medication side effects.
