My loved one is exhibiting short-term memory loss, confusion, mood swings and asks the same question repeatedly. Is it Alzheimers?
Ans. Perhaps but there are many other possible explanations for these symptoms. It could be something as simple as dehydration, or a chemical imbalance, or the side effects of medication. Only a physician can properly test and diagnose Alzheimer’s and you should have your loved one evaluated as soon as possible. Since all available treatments work to delay the effects of AD, early diagnosis can help preserve quality of life.
