Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month: Early Signs, Risk Factors, and How Omega Physicians Can Help
Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month (observed each June) is a national call to action to learn, share, and act on behalf of those affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
At Omega Physicians, we are committed to helping patients recognize the early signs of cognitive decline and providing personalized, compassionate care through our primary care and psychiatry services.
What is Alzheimer's Disease?
Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia, causing memory loss, confusion, and changes in behavior and thinking. It affects more than 6 million Americans and is a progressive condition, meaning symptoms worsen over time.
Early Signs and Risk Factors
Common early signs include:
- Memory loss that interferes with daily life
- Difficulty planning or solving problems
- Getting lost or confused about time/place
- Changes in personality or mood
Risk factors include age, genetics, family history, high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. If you or a loved one notice changes, early screening can make a difference.
