Recognizing Alzheimer's Symptom Progression

By: Riley Hendersen

We all forget where we put our car keys or what we just came into a room for, but does that mean you may have Alzheimer's? Not necessarily, so don't panic. However, if you're over 60, or your family has a history of Alzheimer's, you may be susceptible. The onset of Alzheimer's is slow, and difficult to notice at first. Symptoms may seem normal to those of us who are aging and getting a bit more forgetful than we used to be, but most of the time, we're able to laugh it off. But the progression of an Alzheimer's symptom may be identified in a spouse or loved one even before they themselves think there's something wrong. There are several things to watch for if you suspect that someone you love may be suffering from an Alzheimer's symptom.

While an Alzheimer's symptom or two isn't conclusive that the disease is present, there are early signs that someone may have the disease. Everyone is different however, but a loved one is usually the first to notice and then recognize an Alzheimer symptom, so it's up to them to seek help as soon as possible. One early Alzheimer symptom is memory loss that affects job skills and the performance of formerly simple and familiar tasks. Another Alzheimer's symptom to watch for is a problem in language such as slurring or inability to say a word correctly. Also watch for increasing confusion regarding time and place. While we all forget what day it is once in a while, the Alzheimer symptom is not a once-in-a-while occurrence, but something that happens frequently. Also watch for decreased or inhibited judgment skills. Did your mother forget to turn the stove off? Or did your husband forget to close the refrigerator for the tenth time that week? Are they making illogical decisions or are they having trouble writing checks and balancing checkbooks? If your loved one is suddenly displaying trouble with formerly easy tasks and is now making constant mistakes, pay attention.

Another main Alzheimer's symptom is the inability to think in abstract terms. Hypothetical problems become obstacles for someone suffering from early stage Alzheimer's and cause confusion and agitation in the victim. Chronic forgetfulness is increasingly common in Alzheimer's patients. A sudden change in mood or temperament is another early Alzheimer's symptom. Sometimes, the constant confusion experienced by a victim prompts impatience and frustration, sometimes denial and anger. Arguing with loved ones about forgotten conversations or directions prompt more aggressive behaviors in those suffering from the disease, as well as changes in their personality. Your formerly passive mother may suddenly become quite argumentative or sarcastic, which can be alarming and very disturbing. Another Alzheimer's symptom is the loss of interest in events occurring around them, or lack of initiative. Many Alzheimer's patients grow so fearful and frustrated by the changes inside them that they withdraw into a shell that's difficult to crack.

Alzheimer's is a devastating disease process, but recognizing an Alzheimer's symptom may help family members to arm themselves for the battle ahead.
