Alzheimer's Association workshop "Know the 10 Signs: Early Detection Matters"
Thursday, November 5 at 3:00pm at Silver Spring Library, 900 Wayne Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 20910
The warning signs of Alzheimerโs disease are often dismissed as side effects of normal aging. If you or someone you know is experiencing memory loss or behavioral changes, itโs 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 Alzheimerโs disease. Weโll separate myth from reality and address commonly-held fears about Alzheimerโs in America. Hear from people who have the disease and find out how to recognize the signs in yourself and others.
Topics covered will include:
โข How to tell the difference between Alzheimerโs and typical aging
โข Steps to take if you recognize a warning sign in yourself or someone you know
โข The process to receiving an Alzheimerโs diagnosis
โข Why early detection is crucial
