These are the times when we can stand up to Alzheimer\u2019s together and illuminate the darkness.<\/p><h2>What are the warning signs of Alzheimer\u2019s?<\/h2><p>Over <strong>55 million people<\/strong> live with dementia globally. Sixty to seventy percent of those affected have Alzheimer\u2019s. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/dementia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Health Organization<\/a>, \u201cDementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death among all diseases and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older people globally.\u201d<\/p><p>Forgetfulness happens to everyone from time to time, but Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pegasusseniorliving.com\/blog\/signs-of-alzheimers-memory-care-near-me\/\">not normal parts of aging<\/a><\/strong>. Most forms of dementia are progressive and occur in stages:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Early:<\/strong> This stage may not register for most people. It includes forgetfulness with names and information, and focusing becomes difficult.<\/li><li><strong>Middle:<\/strong> Most people receive a dementia diagnosis during the middle stage. It\u2019s typically the longest stage. Mood swings, confusion, and forgetting personal information are common. This period is when people will begin to need supervision and assistance.<\/li><li><strong>Late:<\/strong> Late-stage dementia requires 24-hour care. Communication and mobility loss worsens, and the immune system becomes more susceptible to infections.<\/li><\/ul><h3>Memory Loss<\/h3><p>Memory loss is the greatest signifier of Alzheimer\u2019s and most dementias. Preclinical Alzheimer\u2019s can last for years before forgetfulness becomes a problem and a doctor can make a diagnosis.<\/p><p>Misnaming people and objects, asking the same questions, or repeating information could indicate cognitive decline due to dementia.<\/p><p>Early-stage dementia might result in a person getting lost coming home from work or misplacing their keys. Accomplishing tasks and paying attention might become difficult. Don&#8217;t delay making an appointment with your doctor if you or a loved one exhibits these symptoms.<\/p><h3>Withdrawing From Social Situations<\/h3><p>People exhibiting signs of Alzheimer&#8217;s may withdraw from work or family due to forgetfulness and trouble keeping up with conversations. They may also try to avoid family and friends because of fear people will notice their symptoms.<\/p><h3>Changes in Vision<\/h3><p>Vision changes can be a part of normal aging. People with dementia can have healthy eyes, but changes in the brain will affect how colors and spaces are perceived.<\/p><p>A person may be able to read without glasses, but Alzheimer\u2019s can make recognizing the color of a stoplight difficult. Judging distance in traffic or walking upstairs can begin to be confusing.<\/p><h2>June is Alzheimer&#8217;s and Brain Awareness Month<\/h2><p>The easiest way to advocate for Alzheimer&#8217;s and Brain Awareness Month is by sharing your story on social media.
