While some have been diagnosed with this disease, others are dealing with their loved one\u2019s diagnosis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease: Early Detection<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An estimated 33% of diagnosed adults are aware that they have the disease. As a result, various organizations are working to increase that number.<\/p>\n<p>However, until recently, the focus of Alzheimer\u2019s education was always on research to find a cure. As a result, early detection is receiving more attention than ever. Many tests are now conducted on how the brain starts to change years before any severe symptoms occur.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer&#8217;s Disease: The Diagnosis<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>An Alzheimer\u2019s diagnosis can be difficult for everyone involved. That&#8217;s why early detection can make a difference in one\u2019s life. Seniors who get an early diagnosis can participate in clinical trials. Furthermore, an early Alzheimer&#8217;s diagnosis can give seniors and their families time to prepare for the future and find a suitable care solution.<\/p>\n<p>For this reason, here are eight early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer&#8217;s to look out for.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Eight Early Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease in Seniors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#1.
