ALZHEIMER'S

Dear Friend,

Dad can't remember where he left his keys. Mom forgot a
birthday, something she never does. Are these things that just happen
when we get older? When does forgetfulness become a sign of something
more?

While we all eventually experience age-related changes in
behavior and ability, memory loss that disrupts daily life could be a
sign of something more serious, such as Alzheimer's disease or another
dementia. What is the difference between typical age-related changes
and Alzheimer's warning signs?

The Alzheimer's Association has developed a list of 10 Warning
Signs and Symptoms that we hope you'll find helpful in evaluating any
changes in yourself or a loved one.

With U.S. Food and Drug
Administration-approved treatments now available for some people
living with early Alzheimer's, there is hope for many. But these
treatments aren't cures, and they're not the answer for everyone.
Recognizing warning signs is critical in receiving an early diagnosis
and ensuring the greatest chance of qualifying for treatments. Whether
it's difficulty completing familiar tasks, challenges planning or
solving problems or withdrawal from work or social activities -
if you or your loved ones notice any warning signs, consult your
doctor. You can also call the Association's free 24/7 Helpline
(800.272.3900) or visit alz.org to learn more and explore our other
available resources.

No one should have to face Alzheimer's
alone. It's natural to feel uncertain or nervous about discussing
changes in yourself or others, and voicing your concerns could make
them seem more "real." We're always here to answer questions and
provide support.

Providing resources like our list of 10 Warning Signs and
Symptoms is just one part of our mission to lead the way to end
Alzheimer's and all other dementia - by accelerating global
research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing
quality care and support.

Right now, nearly 7 million Americans
are living with Alzheimer's, and this disease continues to be an
escalating global public health crisis. Our work is far from done.
Together, we will remain steadfast in our fight to end Alzheimer's.
Thank you for showing that you care about ending this disease.

Sincerely,
Elizabeth Edgerly, Ph.D.
