Warning Signs (Symptoms)

Alzheimer’s Disease Warning Signs

Every case of Alzheimer’s disease is different, but experts have identified common indicators of brain disease. Because treatments are more effective with early diagnosis, it is especially important to look for signs that might indicate Alzheimer’s disease versus basic forgetfulness.

Please review the following indicators, and if you or someone you know is exhibiting these symptoms, please consult a healthcare professional. The locally-staffed Alzheimer’s Tennessee, Inc. Helpline is prepared to offer you support, referrals, and care consultations.

Typical warning signs include the following:

  • Memory loss especially when it comes to recent or important events, names, placement of objects, and other new information.
    • Versus sign of “normal aging”: Periodically and temporarily forget names, appointments, or where you left your keys.
