Could it be Alzheimer's?

Alzheimer's disease is a degenerative brain disease that usually begins gradually, causing a person to forget recent events or familiar tasks. As it advances, it can cause confusion, personality and behavior changes, and impaired judgment. Symptoms vary from person to person, but common warning signs include:

• Memory loss that affects job skills
• Difficulty performing familiar tasks
• Problems with language
• Disorientation to time and place
• Poor or decreased judgment
• Problems with abstract thinking
• Misplacing things
• Changes in mood or behavior
• Changes in personality
• Loss of initiative
