Alzheimer's Disease Affects People in Many Ways
* The ability to make decisions will be reduced.
* Simple tasks that have been performed for years will become more difficult or be forgotten.
* Confusion and memory loss, initially for recent events and eventually for long-term events, will occur.
* The ability to find the right words and follow a conversation will be affected.
* A person may appear uninterested and stop hobbies or other activities previously enjoyed.
* The ability to control mood and emotion may be lost. Some individuals have less expression and are more withdrawn.
Changes in the brain will bring about changes in the way the person reacts to the environment. These may include :
* repeating the same action or words
* hiding possessions
* physical outbursts
* restlessness
* inappropriate sexual behaviour
As the disease progresses, there will be a gradual physical decline. These changes will affect the person's ability to perform day-to-day tasks, such as eating, hing and getting dressed.
