Moderate Alzheimer's Disease
As AD progresses, deficits in memory, language, and reasoning become more noticeable. Changes in personality and behavior become more extreme. At this point, a person may begin to endanger themselves or others.
Symptoms of moderate AD may include the following:
- Difficulty identifying familiar people, places, or things
- Restlessness
- Sleep disturbances
- Poor judgment or difficulty with reasoning
- Aggression or agitation
- Inappropriate behavior
- Increased difficulty with everyday activities
- Losing touch with reality
- Suspiciousness or paranoia
- Hallucinations
Only a doctor can diagnose AD. If you are concerned about your cognitive function, or if you notice worrisome symptoms in someone you love, contact your healthcare provider.
