We tell you how to recognize the most common type of dementia in the very early stages of the disease.
Patients with Alzheimer’s disease tend to come to the doctor late. The reason is simple: if they notice symptoms, they most often classify them as manifestations of normal aging, which is why they don’t sound the alarm bells.
Only one of these signs of dementia can be noticed while driving a car. When driving, people with a diagnosis they haven’t yet guessed suddenly can’t remember the route to familiar, already well-researched places.
At the same time, these people may also have problems with an adequate assessment of distance and definition of color or contrast. All these symptoms greatly complicate the driving process: even the person who has spent his whole life behind the wheel begins to feel discomfort and feel insecure on the roads.
These 2 discreet symptoms scream the onset of dementia: check your parents!
Recognizing Alzheimer’s disease in time and seeking medical help is the only sure way to delay the onset of the disease and improve quality of life. Don’t repeat the mistakes of the majority, because the statistics are relentless: According to recent survey results, only one in three people tell their doctor about symptoms of dementia within the first month.
