Brain fog and forgetfulness are common, but when these issues become more frequent or severe, they might be early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. In younger adults under 65, this is known as early-onset Alzheimer’s. Symptoms can include memory lapses, difficulty focusing, and confusion. For example, you may forget simple tasks or have trouble finding the right words.
Recent studies show that early-onset Alzheimer’s is rising in younger people. While Alzheimer’s was once mostly seen in older adults, factors like high stress, poor sleep, unhealthy diets, and inactivity may be leading to this increase. Genetics can also play a part.
