It is a degenerative brain disorder and the leading cause of dementia. Symptoms include loss of memory, judgment and reasoning, difficulty with day-to-day functions and changes in mood and behaviour. Sometimes people fail to recognize that these symptoms indicate that something is wrong. They may mistakenly assume that such behaviour is a normal part of aging it isn't. Symptoms may develop gradually and go unnoticed for a long time. It is important to see your doctor when you recognize these symptoms as they may be due to other treatable conditions. If the diagnosis is Alzheimer Disease, help is available. The Alzheimer Society of Windsor and Essex County is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for those affected by Alzheimer Disease or other dementias. They provide education, support services, advocacy and research and can be reached at 974-2220.
