Alzheimer’s isn’t just an elderly person’s disease—it can develop in people as young as 40 or 50. This is called early-onset Alzheimer’s, and it accounts for about 5-10% of all cases.

Early Warning Signs of Alzheimer’s Before 65

• Frequent memory lapses – Forgetting recent events or repeating questions often.
• Struggling with problem-solving – Difficulty with numbers, managing finances, or organizing tasks.
• Language problems – Trouble finding the right words or following conversations.
• Changes in mood and personality – Increased anxiety, depression, or withdrawal from loved ones.
• Misplacing objects in unusual places – Such as putting keys in the fridge.

How Is Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Different?

• Progresses faster than late-onset cases.
• Often misdiagnosed as stress or depression.
• More likely to be genetic, especially in people with a family history.
