Most people believe that the obvious sign of Alzheimer's disease is memory loss.
But a new study has shown that this is not the case. There are various signs that indicate the onset of a degenerative disease.
The study was done by researchers at Northwestern University's Cognitive Neurology and Alzheimer's Center.
These are four risk behaviors that may indicate Alzheimer's is developing.
Unusual behavior
Someone who is normally shy and reserved can come into a store and want to kiss or hug a complete stranger.
Speech problems
