Alzheimer's-Symptoms

When the disease first forms, the victim has normal brain function. As it progresses, the person begins to forget words and misplace things. But nobody can tell that they have Alzheimer's yet. Soon, the person's memory gets worse, and they forget names and have more trouble talking. They have troubles planning or organizing things, and they misplace objects. Their memory continues to get worse and worse, and their behavior changes. They get mood swings and forget many things.

As it gets worse, the person loses the ability to perform daily tasks. They need help with everything. When it gets really severe, they have troubles swallowing and controlling their movement.
