2. Mental Decline
People who are in the early stages of Alzheimer’s may start to notice that their minds are not working as well as they used to. Forgetfulness is a major symptom, and it’s one of the best-known signs of Alzheimer’s. The memory loss associated with this disease may significantly affect the activities of day-to-day life. However, the mental decline extends beyond just memory loss. People with the disease will also find that they can’t tackle problems or maintain concentration like they used to. Because of this mental decline, familiar tasks around the house or the office—especially ones involving numbers or step-by-step directions—may become hard to carry out.
