Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s Disease

In the early stages, it is difficult to know if a person
has alzheimer's disease or is just suffering from memory
loss.

When you go to your doctor, he may ask a few questions of
you or your loved one to access the problem.

The questions commonly asked in the doctors office have
to do with both how the short term and long term memory works.

Questions commonly asked included

* What day is it today
* What month are we in
* What year is it
* Where are you now
* Who is the President
* Count backwards from 20-1
* I am going to tell you three things, you repeat it back to me
after five minutes, when I ask.

If you cannot answer all the questions, or have forgotten
something, it does not prove that you or your loved on has
Alzheimer’s disease, but it does show that perhaps further
investigation is needed.
