Although there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease, early diagnosis provides a greater opportunity for patients to prepare themselves and make decisions about the care they wish to receive. Therefore, it is essential to recognize the early signs of this disease. Below are the three most important early signs of Alzheimer's, according to the British newspaper Express:
1. **Increased Movement Speed**
According to the National Institute on Aging (NIA), one behavioral change that may indicate a risk of dementia is increased movement speed, such as walking back and forth in the same area at an accelerated pace.
2. **Insomnia and Excessive Sleeping**
According to several studies, insomnia is considered one of the most significant early signs of dementia. Some studies also suggest that excessive sleeping may be an indicator of Alzheimer's.
3. **Aggressive Behaviors**
Verbal or physical aggressive actions that were not present before can be an early sign of Alzheimer's disease. Examples include blaming loved ones or attempting to harm someone close to you.
