Alzheimer’s: Lack of reasoning

“Lack of reasoning and common sense.”

We all have days when it seems our common sense has taken a vacation. We all have moments when we wish our reasoning skills had not abandoned us and left us in an embarrassing situation. We see it in ourselves and vow to make it better next time.

However, with a disease such as Alzheimer’s, some of the earliest symptoms we witness in someone are major lapses in reasoning ability and common sense reactions to everyday life. We often explain that away with stress or some kind of physical ailment. It often isn’t until an official diagnosis of Alzheimer’s that years of faulty judgments begin to make sense.

Don't put off your concern for one more day.
