Alzheimer's disease, known as Alzheimer's disease, is a degenerative disease of the nervous system. When you get sick, it not only reduces your quality of life, but also increases the financial burden of your family. Therefore, we should prevent and avoid the risk in advance. So, generally speaking, what will Alzheimer's disease show in the early stage? Let's take a look!
1, memory loss
The most obvious early symptom of suffering from Alzheimer's disease is a sharp decline in memory. Things that are planned may be forgotten in the next second. Things that were put in yesterday sometimes can't even be said. When the disease progresses to the middle to late stages, patients may even forget their identifying information and close family members, which is why Alzheimer's patients often write down family contact information in TV shows.
II. Writing and language disorders
In addition to memory loss, Alzheimer's disease is also manifested in the deterioration of writing and language skills. In the past, people with deep cultural literacy may forget to write, have unsatisfactory words, have confusing language structures, use inappropriate words, and speak a bunch of words but leave the listener at a loss for words. As the disease progresses, patients often develop social deficits, ranging from difficulty communicating with people to refusal to do so.
Three, visuospatial disorders
Many young people have a weak ability to recognize directions, and everyone jokingly calls them road kill, which is actually a normal phenomenon. However, for some middle-aged and elderly people, when they go out, they always feel dizzy, completely unable to distinguish between north and south-east; often walk the road or feel strange, and in more serious cases, even the way home can not be found, which may be a harbinger of Alzheimer's disease.
Four, movement disorders
Medical advocate moderate daily exercise for middle-aged and elderly people, to prevent muscle atrophy and enhance resistance; for most of the elderly, walking, tai chi, square dancing and other low-intensity exercise is not difficult, but for patients with Alzheimer's disease, the limbs are not coordinated, the desire for movement is weakened. In addition, patients will often walk back and forth, aimlessly moving things around and banging their heads against the wall.
Fifth, the character changes a lot
In addition to the obvious symptoms, personality changes are also one of the manifestations of Alzheimer's disease; after the disease, the elderly will become sensitive, suspicious, fragile, stubborn, short-tempered, bent on not listening to other people's opinions. Some people with severe symptoms may also have violent tendencies. Don't ignore the possibility of Alzheimer's disease if you feel that an elderly person in your family is experiencing significant personality changes.
Most diseases have a developmental process, and Alzheimer's disease is no exception. To maximize the risk of developing the disease; be vigilant when you are young and consciously exercise your ability to express yourself, think, remember, coordinate, and try puzzles, chess, riddles, and other puzzles in your spare time. Don't think that Alzheimer's disease is far away from you, check yourself often and prevent it as soon as possible in order to lead a healthier and happier life in old age.
