Early diagnosis of AD can preserve mental abilities so that one can continue living a full life for years. However, it is difficult even for doctors to recognize the earliest stage of AD or other causes of dementia. Just like for breast or prostate cancer, annual screening for memory and other problems due to dementia will help individuals, their family, and their doctor to diagnose the problem in its most treatable stage.
Early detection leads to effective treatment.
AD silently progresses in the brain for 30 to 50 years before the first symptom appears. AD is usually diagnosed four years after the first symptom begins. However, detecting AD when symptoms first appear leads to the most effective treatment, which can delay its progression for years. Please click on the button below to begin our quick screening test.
