Alzheimer’s doesn’t always start with forgetfulness—here are the early signs you should be aware of

2. Everyday tasks suddenly become difficult

Another possible sign is that simple tasks suddenly seem complicated. Things like cooking, shopping, paying bills or finding your usual route can become more difficult.

It is particularly noticeable when someone has problems with tasks that they used to do without any problems. For example, a familiar recipe is forgotten, a household appliance is used incorrectly or a familiar place suddenly seems unfamiliar.

This can be very stressful for those affected. Many try to hide such difficulties because they are ashamed or do not understand what is happening.

This is precisely why it is important to remain attentive and patient.
