Alzheimer's Association workshop "Know the 10 Signs: Early Detection Matters"
Audience:
Anyone who would like to know more about Alzheimer’s disease and related
dementias.
Overview:
The warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease are often dismissed as side effects of
normal aging. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or
behavioral changes, it’s time to learn the facts. Early detection gives you a
chance to begin drug therapy, enroll in clinical studies and plan for the
future.
At this interactive workshop, you will learn the 10 Warning
Signs of Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll separate myth from reality and address
commonly-held fears about Alzheimer’s in America. Hear from people who have the
disease and find out how to recognize the signs in yourself and others.
