Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended that I see a neurologist. What are the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease?Doctor's answer:
Alzheimer's disease is also known as senile dementia, which is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. Some patients may talk to themselves or speak loudly, fear being left alone at home, and a few may exhibit inappropriate or frequent laughter. Examination shows that early-stage patients still maintain their usual appearance, and when symptoms such as memory loss and aphasia are mild, there are no obvious abnormalities in activity, behavior, or social interaction. In severe cases, it manifests as restlessness, irritability, or hypoactivity, neglecting clothing and personal hygiene, and poor personal hygiene. In the later stage, habitual autonomous activities are still retained, but they cannot perform instructed actions.
