Alzheimer Disease treatment in Magdalena Contreras

When frequent forgetfulness, confusion, or changes in behavior appear that interfere with daily life, one of the causes to consider is Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative condition that progressively affects memory, thinking, and other functions of the brain.

How it progresses: it usually begins with difficulties in recent memory and, over time, can affect language, orientation, and the ability to carry out usual tasks.

Warning signs: forgetfulness that affects daily life, disorientation in familiar places, difficulty finding words, or mood changes.

Who treats it? The neurologist is the reference specialist, with frequent support from the geriatrician and the psychiatrist. If you notice these changes in yourself or a family member, an early professional evaluation helps understand what is causing them and plan the support.
