Short-Term Memory Loss Could Predict Alzheimer’s Better than Biomarkers

In a report from US News Health, a new study suggests that short-term memory loss could be a predictor for Alzheimer's better than biomarkers. When you are no longer able to work as a result of a severe mental or physical condition, then you could qualify to receive Social Security disability benefits.

Biomarkers are frequently used to find signs of Alzheimer's in patients who are at risk; however, a new study finds that detecting symptoms by studying the relation of short-term memory loss between a person's brain size and cortical thickness could be a stronger indicator.

Short-term memory loss, or mild cognitive impairment, consists of difficulty remembering what was done the day before or constantly losing your train of thought. There may also be changes in your ability to use judgment or find places that you were once familiar with. Additionally, some individuals with short-term memory loss experience depression, anxiety, or irritability.

Although, this may be indicative of the potential growth of Alzheimer's, it doesn't necessarily mean the disease will develop.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and is no longer able to function on a daily basis, then disability benefits may be available. You should consult with a Plantation Social Security disability lawyer as soon as possible to discuss your case.
