Alzheimer's Disease Warning Signs & Symptoms

Early signs of Alzheimer's disease include forgetfulness and trouble finding words, but this also occurs with normal aging. What distinguishes the person with early Alzheimer's disease is development of new psychological symptoms. Energy and engagement in every day life may diminish. These symptoms can become so severe that they may interfere with the ability to carry out more difficult tasks, such as handling finances or driving a car.
