My 90 yr old mother has all of these symptoms. We have suspected Alz for the past couple years. She has fulltime home care (me) and my sibs and I will work to keep her out of a nursing home. She is still eating well, conversing, playing puter games, enjoys her tv shows, helps with baking and laundry because she wants to do it. Mom is also fully ambulatory. She is 100% supervised and we will let her enjoy her life as is for as long as possible. Thanks to the doctor for an informative vid.
The correct pronunciation is ALZ- HEIMER. GERMAN .SHE ,runs over the word.
Admire you, really
You are great children!!!
My wife was diagnosed medically last year at age 58 with moderate dementia. It took me two years to get her to agree to a neuro assessment, but looking back I am sure she was presenting symptoms for at least five years earlier. Her Neurologist told me my wife was the 3rd youngest patient he has had in 30 years of practice. Bottom line is dementia can hit even young people and you may think the symptoms are something else. Horrible.
your not taught this in america or most places or on tv but almost all health issues are casued by nutrition deficiencies and are easy to fix within a week. Nutrition ivs and nutrition injections supper effective in healing reversing health issues. you heal reverse dementia/altimers by myers cocktail iv and b12 injections. you get dementia/altimers because of b12 deficiencies. for example japan has the lowest rate of dementia/altimers because they health care system make sure there citizens get enough b12. You check your nutrition levels with thourough nutrition blood tests only functional medicine mds will do that and they know optimal levels not reg providers. anybody with health issues the root main cause is nutrition deficiencies. mental health issues, headache issues sleep issues balance issues the list goes on and on and its becasues of nutriton deficeinces. myers cocktail iv, vitamin d injection b12 injection, gludathione iv coq10 injections will heal and keep you at optimal health year round thats what pro althetes and rich people do year round. just type in google nutrition iv therapy near me. go get them done and start healing quick nutrition ivs and injections have been around since 1950's its a hidden secret casue there super effective and cure. anybody with altimer/dementia should do myers cocktail iv and b12 injections watch how fast they improve.
I am so sorry for you. My mother had Alzheimer's and now in my 60s my short term memory is declining.

I have MCI, and I’m 54. I have a lot of these symptoms. I was very aware that these things were happening, but it was very hard to get help because of my age and the fact that I was aware of it. I don’t get a lot of support because people don’t believe me because I don’t fit the profile of someone who usually has this disease. I also try really hard to keep myself together and it comes across as nothing being wrong with me.
I'm sorry to hear you're having symptoms at this age. You may want to look for a support group for MCI; esp if you look online, you might be able to find other people in your age range. You could also look to see if there are any trials you might participate in; I believe there are trials for MCI included at www.alzheimers.gov/clinical-trials.
Good luck!
@@BetterHealthWhileAging Thank you so much! I will look into that.
Take some Vitamin B5. It should help. It has for me. I too have cognitive impairment but it really only affects my memory so cognitive tests don’t really catch it. It’s very frustrating. I know it’s a result of my brain bleed 6 years ago. But yes, try Vitamin B5
I can relate!
@@BetterHealthWhileAging😊
This can happen with Compelx PTSD and Narc abuse too!!!
This is a wonderful channel, very appreciated. I have been sharing it.
Thank you so much!
I've had some of these symptoms for much of my life (getting lost in familiar places) and lately, searching for the correct word. Oh well... I'm 74 and so far, no one seems to notice my deficiencies but me.
Brain fog can be caused by other things, such as psoriatic arthritis.
@@andreawales1938 Well, yes. I also have migraines and fibromyalgia... and arthritis. So maybe it's not dementia. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this video! It was very informative and helpful tips.
Thank you for sharing this vital information.. Great information…thanks!.
Dr. ! You are a competent instructor. Love the way you are presenting medical information. Medical schools need the professors like you. 👌
Your presentation was very well presented and simple to understand
Great show brilliant thank you very much for very informative information 😊
Thank you! Those of us having experienced caring for loved ones suffering from cognitive challenges are deeply indebted to you for your educational videos!
Great information…thanks!
As we get older, more diseases gradually appear. This is a very useful TH-cam channel that I have learned about.
Very clear and concise. Thank you!
Thank you for these informative videos. I am so grateful to have come across you this morning. You’re truly a Blessing.
You're so very welcome! I'm so glad if this was helpful.
Hi Daryl, how's your day going with you?
Very helpful thank you so much .👍👍👍
This was so helpful! Thank you.
I'm so glad!
I am surprised that obsessive, compulsive disorder was not mentioned. In retrospect OCD showed in my wife's shopping habits for a few years before diagnosis and via tongue flicking not long before.
Thank you for the information
Great video!
Thank you so much for your videos and all the helpful information you are making available!
Hi Carly, how's your day going with you?
God bless you. I am 71 and in retirement in a country that is foreign to me. Thank you for giving concrete behaviors to consider as I feel myself slowly fading into nothing.
Dont fade away to nothing, get out and about doing things you love, enjoy your life as much as you can, god bless you, John
some medication can cause those symptom too. for example statines for cholesterol control.
THANK YOU. MOST INTERESTING
Thank you…
Thank you for sharing this vital information.
Glad it was helpful!
I really appreciate this helpful video. Wish I’d seen this a few years ago. My mother had mental illness, and when she slipped into dementia the symptoms were similar to her known illness, just more exaggerated. It made things so much more difficult.
Thanks for this comment & for sharing your story. I'm so sorry your mother had mental illness and then dementia. We do know that people with a history of severe mental illness are at higher risk for dementia and they tend to get it earlier in life than people who don't have mental illness. It's still very hard to sort out though.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging What exactly do you mean by "sort out" in this context?

I am 48 years old and I have those Symtoms, Yet don't want to know for sure, Because it scare the heck out of me
Great information…thanks!. Thank you for sharing this vital information..
My mother has vascular dementia. She had and has many of these symptoms. I really wish I knew more about this 10 years ago. She's stage 7 now and it is just horrible. There is really nothing there anymore. Such a strain on my father and the children. Sometimes I just come home and drink or cry. I don't know how much longer she will drag on like this. It''s awful.
some symptoms might not be related to dementia. my dad always had difficulties with recognizing words. sometimes from slightly off pronunciation sometimes not getting it but with using other words it worked. i noticed when he was in his thirties and now he is 90 and i help him often with mowing the lawn, cutting the hedge and bushes. sometimes he did already some of it, when i arrive - keeps him fit.

You are correct. For instance, an individual with undiagnosed and untreated dyslexia will often struggle unsuccessfully to voice an intended word but will come close. For instance, such a person trying to find the word "ocean" may instead say "lotion." If this is something that has happened the person's entire life, it obviously is not a sign of early dementia. One of the excellent points of this video is that family and physicians must see the patient as a whole and not as a single symptom.
Oh wow I'm 39 and have been repeating myself over and over again yea I tempt to not remembering things on what happened in the argument or fights but I do remember the good times I'm not there of getting old timers but I do forget most of the time
My dad would call everyone Mate or Darling to cover the fact he could not remember their name, he could remember some names, especially those he saw regularly, but it was a while before we realised, but gradually other things built into the picture, but hindsight is a wonderful thing!
Hi Teresa, how's your day going with you?
When I do get it, my radio club will finally get round to finding a new newsletter editor.
Often I can't remember the appropriate word right away, but later when I'm relaxed and not stressing it comes to me out of the blue. I'm tempted to call whoever I was talking to and tell him what I meant to say. Kind of an ureka moment! Is this early dementia?
This is fairly common with normal aging. I wouldn't consider it a sign of dementia, unless someone was showing other worrisome signs.
I do the same thing
So far it will come back to eventually
Usually a few minutes later.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging Thank you! : )
@@juliasewillfarmer6073 Same here. But with me, it's more like a half hour later. LOL.
Brain fog can be caused by other things, such as psoriatic arthritis.
How do you find out if you have one of these diseases?
What if it’s me, that has many symptoms, we even joke about how I have alsys.
I’m not afraid of being tested, and end up having it. This is where it’s essential to have a good doc, which I don’t. Also I have almost every ailment going.
While we understand these signs now, there is no cure for dementia or Alzheimer's, my clever and smart Mum started developing these signs at 82, but she was aware where it would lead to. While she did puzzles, crosswords kept active and ate good food and was a social person, it eventually got to her and she passed away at 89. It was difficult for me to see her deteriorating and understand this disease. My aunt too, Mum's sister-in-law, got the best help as she lived with her daughter who was a Nurse and with my Uncle who looked after her, but could not stop her passing away at 86.
I am interested
Many people have only around a dozen really great stories about things they have experienced in life, and they enjoy telling them - especially with people they have only recently met.
It is a way of being entertaining and covering up nervousness. It is only when they start to repeat them with the same audience that we might think they are having mental difficulties (or, at the very least, that they need some new writers).
Does prevagen or medications Helps?
Please update us on the New developed drug for Dimentia. Thanks so much 🙏
Another warning sign is time travel . My late grandmother had Dementia no she didn't build a time machine but in the later stages of the disease her mind went back to her teenage years. In 2009 my grandmother was admitted into hospital and the doctor came to see her he ask my grandmother what year it was? She replied April 1936 then told me to get some coal from the outhouse and to fetch food from long closed shops and told me to ask her step father for money. But she didn't know my dad or my grandad or me but could remember names of neighbours from 1936 so surreal. My grandmother died a year later after having a stroke.
So scary for me....i don't want my family struggling just bcuz of me..help me lord...i'm scared that it could be happen to me cuz i'm taking maintenance medication these days.
I'm so glad I found this information ! My best friend since we were 14 year olds ( met in parochial school in1961) was going out of her way with comforting emails after my beloved dog died. All of a sudden - no more communication whatsoever ! it turns out she has dementia, which is really freaking me out. Her daughter says all she does is sit in front of the TV all day long, which of course, is NOT GOOD NEWS. I am three months younger than she is, and have severe balance issues and forgetfulness (like going into a room and saying to myself "what did I come in here for ?") I sometimes can't immediately remember the word for something and will say something like "can you hand me that thing ?" which makes my husband irritated, that I didn't at least TRY to remember the word. Do I have the beginning of Alzheimers or dementia ? PLEASE tell me what your opinion is - it troubles me to no end (I'm 77 years old, and would go see a doctor if you think I really should.) THANX
What you're describing cognitively sounds pretty typical...probably the question you could explore at this point is whether you are experiencing normal aging (quite possible) versus mild cognitive impairment (MCI); you can learn more about MCI here: betterhealthwhileaging.net/qa-how-to-treat-mild-cognitive-impairment/
I hope you have also talked to your doctors about your severe balance issues, and what can be done to help prevent falls.
Hi Claudia, how's your day going with you?
i experienced something with my mother in 2019, that struck me as a possible sign, maybe more acurately a "late warning sign", since she was 85, but it was "early" for me. I was taken aback, it was so odd, since my mother had such a sharp mind, on the whole. This might help someone else put things togther in their own experience. it was this: i was working on helping her setttle in, after a move, one she said would probably be her last move. She had a painting, on thick cardboard, and i noticed it had separated. The back part that had come apart was clearly covered in black mold, and needed to be thrown away. I casually showed it to her, and said, " This goes out, right?" and much to my surprise she kind of freaked out, and snapped at me to leave it alone. I tried to reason with her, being utterly surprised, but she was firm, exasperated and told me to put it down, to leave it there, on her patio sofa...... She also had frequent trouble with her phone, her hearing and with the internet/her computer, and looking back ( she passed away last year) i now realize she was probably struggling with this for a few years even before 2019. She would often claim there were computer problems, and be out of touch for awhile, and I didn't take it too seriously since she lived in an enclave where she would be checked in on regularly, and also, was a person who really liked her privacy. As it happened, it was to be her "last move", and though she had in mind to move again in 2021, it was not to be. ❤🩹
Thanks for sharing your story. I'm sorry for your loss and appreciate your wanting to help others.
So sorry for your loss I'm 82 and do I loose track of were I've put things 😔 😅
So sad.
I thought I heard her say there is a type of dementia that is in the frontal part of the brain and things start to happen fast. Dies anyone remember what it was? I need to know so I can research it. Thank you.
I HATE that happened to Bruce!!! I love him . He gave so many people joy
yes, so sad! His family has now revealed that he's been diagnosed with fronto-temporal dementia.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging 💔
I don’t know why this video was in my feed. Maybe Google’s tracking me & thinks I have Alzheimers. I must have symptom #6 on your list! Seriously, this was very useful info to have, as we have a friend recently diagnosed with early Alz, but at this point her main symptom is short-term memory impairment.
I can't say why it turned up in your feed as I don't get to program the TH-cam algorithm, and we are not running paid ads. But glad if it was helpful!
How does a mood disorder fit into all of this? Thanks!
You have been so helpful since the Lord let me to accidentally find your online class.
Oh, I'm so glad to be of service. Thank you for letting me know!
Several of these warning signs are symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder. How does one distinguish if it’s truly alz/dementia or untreated anxiety? I’m in a well populated area & the recommended neuropsychologist from whom to get an evaluation has an 8 month wait!!! It is ridiculous & infuriating. Do you have any suggestions for getting evaluated in a timely manner especially considering these are time-essential diseases?
Or other disorders that include high anxiety as a symptom like complex PTSD? I’m 58, starting a new job (for the millionth time) and struggle massively with the learning I’m supposed to be doing. Of course, the knowledge that I’m not learning effectively feeds the anxiety, which cripples the memory, which creates more anxiety…
@@codacreator6162 I was writing on behalf of my mom but I wish you the best. It's all very frustrating how inadequate our healthcare system is. And that's WITH insurance!
Complex PTSD too!!!! Memory issues and same with autoimmune as I had studied and IQ test from neurologist I knew it was off!
Exactly! Try getting mental health appointments. There's no magic pill for dementia or small cell brain desease😢
I've had my mom tested for all the appropriate medical tests to rule out vitamin deficiencies, UTI, etc. What else could a doctor do about her progressing dementia/Alzheimer's?
My 67 year old boyfriend thinks I have people following him in cars! It's so heartbreaking!
Oh, I'm sorry to hear of this. 67 is not very old...he might have another issue creating some paranoia. I would recommend getting him evaluated. Good luck!
@@BetterHealthWhileAging He won't go to see a doctor at all!
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. That's actually a very common problem...but also very hard. I do explain in detail how to work around that in my book, "When Your Aging Parent Needs Help", which you can find on Amazon and other online booksellers. Even though he is not your father, it should still give you ideas as to how you can work around these issues. Good luck!
I don't think he should be driving anymore.
Solution please.Thanks Dr.
She said to see your health care provider.
Sometimes people just repeat stories because they don’t have anything or interesting to say. It’s only if you don’t know your repeating the same story.
How does perimenopause work in this area too. As well as PTSD. Thanks
Complex PTSD long term has been shnowm to cause brain problems so loved to know any more studies.
I have thought for so long my husband has Parkinsons disease. He has the sleep disorder where he acts out his dreams. He is now losing his balance and he tips over backward. He sleeps 17 or more hours a day. When I do get him out of bed he just goes back and gets back in it. He won't leave the house. He has lost interest in all of his friends and support groups. He has gained so much weight that it scares me. I think he is up to 400 pounds now. He is not thinking clearly anymore. And he is way behind on our bills. This has been going on for 5 years.
Hi Janet, how's your day going with you?
My memory seems to be getting worse and worse. Some days I can hardly remember anything. If someone interrupts me in mid-flow of what I was saying, I lose my thread entirly. My memory is worse if I've had a poor nights sleep. I can remember things from decades ago, but not from what's happened early in the day. Do you think this is any thing to worry about?
I understand exactly... exactly where I am at. Living alone is another problem. I have told the neighbors if you don't see movement, call 911.
I have had two brain surgery and because of that I have to think when someone ask me something I have to think about and they will ask me if I am going to answer them and I have to say I thinking

Hello
@@chrisjennings7900 my wife lost 26k, but thestrange thing is that she doesn't really have any desire to look for it. I'm beside myself.
Thank you for this, I just had to unsubscribe from your emails my Mom passed October. I have Fibromyalgia and I do some of these things which I find scary. Yes, my Mom actually became more charming and so did my Dad (when comfortable). Miss them terribly. And my Mom wanted to cover up while my Dad was heart broken no one could “fix his memory”. He would say that visiting the Doctors office and it was heart breaking.
So sorry for your losses. Some older adults are indeed very aware that their memory is having trouble. I usually reassure them that this is common and then try to redirect their attention to something that helps them feel better about themselves. It's important to validate their concern if they have it, but then we need to find things to say that help them feel better about the moment they are in.
What about poor long and short term memory as well as all the other symptoms. My past is pretty much gone.
I’m not sure if my terrible short term memory is from Parkinson’s or NpH and surgery to correct. Hopefull am still on the mend. Sep it’s now July 10 months !!
Hi Susan, how's your day going with you?
Nice to have a. Video for spouses managing a partner descending into the abyss of dimentia. Diagnosed with Alzheimers already…
Hi Judi, how's your day going with you?
Early signs:
1) Who are you?
2) I did not eat anything today.
3) Now if you pinch a patient, the reaction is “uff”. You ask what’s wrong? The reply is “ you pinched me”.
4) You ask have you been cleaned? The reply “No”. ~ now you wonder “how come”.
5) You ask: where is your spouse? You hear “ She/He died” when the person is in front of the patient.
6) You ask tell me the colours of a rainbow!! You hear “ black and white”
7) You took a red shirt and hold in front of the patient !! Ask the patient “ can I take this”! To your utmost surprise you hear “ No, that’s my favourite”.
8) At what age a person shows the symptoms? With a team members it’s obvious to ask for language assistance if participation is mandatory and in case “ brain dead “ symptoms are predominant in the team.
The NO. 1 warning sign of sure death - getting older....
Biggest challenge should be first On your list, how to get someone diagnosed. You can’t help someone until they get diagnosed.
Can a person with MCI also have problems with pronouncing words or use incorrect words to describe something? When I try looking into MCI and how it affects language I only find vague answers or results of aphasia.
I recommend you watch my video explaining the difference between MCI, Alzheimer's & Dementia: th-cam.com/video/m8_kM_BQQXc/w-d-xo.html
There is no particular way that mild cognitive impairment (MCI) affects language. MCI means a person is having some kind of difficulty with some form of cognition, but overall the difficulty is not bad enough to affect independence in usual activities. The most common type of difficulty is memory, however in some people, it might be language. Using the incorrect word often sounds like a cognitive issue. Difficulty with pronounciation could be cognitive or could be related to the nerves and muscles related to speech having some kind of issue.
@@BetterHealthWhileAging Thank you for the clarification. I will check out the video.
I read that it is causesd by eating excessive sugar.
Have there been any studies with the use of psychedelics with dementia patients?
Not that I know of.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster! Yikes

What to do to prevent Alzheimers?
If you are seeing many warning signs of early Alzheimers, at that point it's generally too late to prevent it :(
Prevention works better for people in midlife. I don't have a video on that yet, but may be able to do one later this year.
The most important things are reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease (e.g. high blood pressure, high blood glucose, high blood cholestorol, smoking), reducing inflammation in the blood and body (which is often related to nutrition, gut health, sleep, stress), getting regular exercise, treating any hearing loss as early as possible, eating the "Mediterranean diet" (lots of veggies, fiber, healthy fats, nuts, fruits), and having soul-nourishing social relationships. Being cognitively engaged in your work or in something else that keeps the brain challenged is also good.
If someone gets up from sleeping and asks "Wait, my mom get home as yet? Mind you, the person's mom has been dead for several years. Could these be a sign of Alzheimer's?
1. Poor short-term memory
2. Repeating same story's.
3. Difficulty with daily activities and skills.
4. Deny difficulties.
5. Accusing others of taking things.
6. Developing delusions.
7. Hallucinations, seeing or hearing things others don't.
8. Getting lost, driving or walking.
9. Trouble with naming things.
10. Changes in behaviour or personality.

Hi Jan, how's your day going with you?
Good information, but I must note that I disagree that memory loss as you age is not normal. Researching other information disagrees with memory loss as you age not being normal. People should not worry unnecessarily. Even my common sense would tell me that as you age your skin changes, your hair changes, your body changes, and of course your brain will change as well.

@ approximately 3:49 you say something to the effect of, "it turned out that he had dementia." Wait. Stop. Please help me here. Dementia? Correct me if I am wrong, but dementia and Alzheimer's are NOT the same thing. Yes, Alzheimer's is definitely dementia, but dementia is not necessarily Alzheimer's. What are you saying here? (thanks!)
Oooh crap..that's me

Can teenagers get alzheimers?

Im 19 and i have brain problems
@@JohanWiebeShorts
What kind of "brain problems"?
Im always forgetting things and sometimes feel confused and i dont really feel clear
@@JohanWiebeShortsare you diabetic? Because the drug metformin can stop b12 absorption. Also b12 is important and so is vitamin D. Many are important but don’t get too much. Talk to your doctor.
This assurance has the child of the Lord Jesus in the Bible (KJV):
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Confess and believe this - His word is true.
