Alzheimer?s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with alzheimer?s, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. Difficulty performing tasks that take some thought, but used to come easily, such as balancing a checkbook, playing complex games (bridge), and learning new information or routines getting lost on familiar routes etc are some of the symptoms of alzheimer. Doctors may order laboratory tests, brain-imaging tests or send you for memory testing. These tests can provide with useful information for diagnosis, including ruling out other conditions that cause similar symptoms.
