As Alzheimer's disease progresses, your memory loss will get worse and you may have increased trouble with speech. You may find that new surroundings and new people are confusing. You may have trouble recognising previously well-known family and friends. Changes in your usual behaviour will be obvious e. g. you may have episodes of unprovoked aggression or become depressed although sometimes depression can occur at the beginning of the illness. Everyday tasks e. g. getting dressed, washing, cooking, shopping and handling money will no longer be as easy. You may find that you lose your sense of time and place.
