Symptoms of Mild Alzheimer's Disease

As Alzheimer's disease progresses, memory loss worsens, and changes in other cognitive abilities are evident.

Problems can include:

• getting lost
• trouble handling money and paying bills
• repeating questions
• taking longer to complete normal daily tasks
• poor judgment
• losing things or misplacing them in odd places
• mood and personality changes

Alzheimer's disease is often diagnosed at this stage.

"The results of this study should change the way we treat patients with Alzheimer's disease. Cholinesterase inhibitors are approved for use in mild to moderate dementia, while memantine has been approved for advanced dementia. But it looks like there is an advantage in prescribing both drugs (Aricept and Namenda) as initial treatment."--John Growdon, MD
