Alzheimer’s disease, named after the doctor who first described it (Alois Alzheimer), is a physical disease that affects the brain. For most people with Alzheimer’s, the earliest symptoms are memory lapses. In particular, they may have difficulty recalling recent events and learning new information. These symptoms occur because the early damage in Alzheimer’s is usually to a part of the brain called the hippo campus, which has a central role in day-to-day memory. Memory for life events that happened a long time ago is often
unaffected in the early stages of the disease.Memory loss due to Alzheimer’s disease increasingly interferes with daily life as the condition progresses. The person may lose items (eg keys, glasses) around the house, struggle to find the right word in a conversation or forget someone’s name, forget about recent conversations or events, get lost in a familiar place or on a familiar journey,forget appointments or anniversaries. Although memory difficulties are usually the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer’s, someone with the disease will also have – or go on to develop – problems with other aspects of thinking, reasoning, perception or communication. They might have difficulties with language – struggling to follow a conversation or repeating themselves; visuospatial skills – problems judging distance or seeing objects in three dimensions; navigating stairs or parking the car become much harder;concentrating, planning or organising – difficulties making decisions, solving problems or carrying out a sequence of tasks (eg cooking a meal); orientation – becoming confused or losing track of the day or date. A person in the earlier stages of Alzheimer’s will often have changes in their mood. They may become anxious, irritable or depressed. Many people become withdrawn and lose interest in activities and hobbies.
