Description:The earlier that Alzheimer’s and other dementias are diagnosed, the sooner people and their families can receive information, care, and support. As the compelling data indicate, many Americans are not being diagnosed early or told about their diagnosis. The symptoms of Alzheimer’s and other dementias worsen over time, although the rate at which the disease progresses varies. In the early stage of Alzheimer’s dementia, for example, a person may function independently, still drive, work, and be part of social activities. Despite this, the person may notice memory lapses, such as forgetting familiar words or the location of everyday objects. A formal diagnosis allows people living with dementia to have access to available symptomatic treatments and interventions, build a care team, participate in support services, and potentially enroll in clinical trials. They and their caregivers can set systems in place to better manage medications, receive counseling, and address the challenges of other chronic conditions.
