10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s

This session is designed to help caregivers, family members, and individuals recognize the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease and understand the importance of early detection.

Alzheimer’s and other dementias cause changes in memory, thinking, and behavior that can interfere with daily life. This course provides a clear overview of the 10 most common warning signs, helping participants distinguish between typical age-related changes and signs that may indicate something more serious.

In this session, you will:

Learn to identify the 10 key warning signs of Alzheimer’s
Understand how these signs may appear in yourself or someone you care about
Explore the benefits of early diagnosis and intervention
Discover how to start a conversation with your doctor or encourage a loved one to seek medical advice
