Speaking and writing problems
As memory loss continues, these patients start displaying problems when they write and speak. For example, they may have difficulties remembering name of items or people, and when they do remember, they may also have difficulties putting thoughts into words. Even expert writers may start having grammar problems and change their writing style.
As the disease becomes more advanced, patients with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia start having severe problems trying to talk with others around them. They are speaking and lose track of what they were saying in the middle of the sentence, and need to go back and say the same thing once again to remember and complete their ideas.
