» Beyond "Senior Moments" 10 Signs of Alzheimer's and Next Steps
» About the Video
In recognition of World Alzheimer's Day, we take a look at the 10 early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease, as identified by the Alzheimer's Association. While some signs, such as occasional memory lapses, can be a normal part of aging, a pattern of these behaviors may indicate a more serious issue. The video also explores the subtle ways individuals and their loved ones might unknowingly "camouflage" or normalize these symptoms, delaying a diagnosis. Learn the importance of recognizing and acting on these signs, like misplacing objects and being unable to retrace steps, and address the fear and denial that often prevent people from seeking help.
