Detecting Alzheimer’s: How to Recognize Early Signs | Dr. Sharon Cohen

Detecting subtle changes in memory or thinking can be unsettling, but understanding what’s behind those changes can lead to critical early diagnosis—or even rule out Alzheimer’s altogether. In this episode, behavioral neurologist Dr. Sharon Cohen, medical director at Toronto Memory Program, explains the early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, medical conditions that can mimic dementia, and how to start a conversation with your doctor. To go deeper, watch our full conversation with Dr. Cohen, part of the Zoom In on Dementia and Alzheimer’s series. Support for Let’s Talk Alzheimer’s is provided by sponsors Lilly, Biogen, Eisai, and Genentech. Let’s Talk Alzheimer’s is presented by Alzheimer’s Disease Research, a BrightFocus Foundation program.
