Description
The first time some people forget where they left their keys, they immediately fear that they have Alzheimer's Disease. In this presentation, participants will learn about nine conditions and diseases that can mimic the memory-related symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease, but are not. The definition of Alzheimer's disease and symptoms of its three stages will also be provided during this session. 

Learning Objectives

• Identify physical conditions and disorders with symptoms that could be mistaken for Alzheimer’s Disease 
• Understand the definition of Alzheimer’s
• Learn the symptoms of each of the three Alzheimer’s three stages
