[|Human|] My wife s personality has gradually changed. She was an English teacher for a decade before she quit to raise our kids, but now she takes an hour just to compose a short email, and has trouble explaining anything. She used to be able to quickly plan and execute complex activities, but now seems to mentally spin her wheels over anything that requires a significant decision. My brother, who is not a doctor but works in health care, said it sounded like it might be some early sign of dementia, and thought she should see a doctor. My wife is only 48, but her father has Alzheimer s, and her father s mother also had it, so this struck a chord of terror. I have not observed any memory problems. Does this seem likely? I don t want to bring it up with her out of concern it will just cause needless anxiety, unless I have something more concrete indicating that she would really benefit seeing a doctor. Thanks.
[|AI|]  His had gone through your query. Alzheimer is age related dementia. Dementia is forgetfulness in which recent memory effect in initial stages. Inability to register new events and in ability to recall events that occur recently is main core feature of it. It is going to worsen as age progress, and gradually it effect whole cognitive functions. In last, it may affect executive functions along with behavior disturbances. Psychological illness like anxiety, depression, catastrophic reaction may associate with it. Proper treatment in early stage can prevent further damage. It can be treated with medicines with psychological approach. Consult neurologist and psychiatrist for better assistance. I hope I have answered your query. Thank you.
