Alzheimer's Disease Header: The Dangers of Identity Theft and How To Protect yourself

It is important to understand the difference between the general forgetfulness that often accompanies old age and the onset of Alzheimer's. It is perfectly normal for older people to exhibit forgetfulness and mild forms of some of the other symptoms of Alzheimer's. This does not in any way mean that they are in the early stages of the onset of Alzheimer's, or that they will go on to develop a full-blown, extreme case of Alzheimer's. In addition, many other conditions can cause Alzheimer's like symptoms. A diagnosis from a professional medical doctor is the only way to be sure.
