What Are The Symptoms Of Alzheimers?

my uncle is randomly passing out, he becomes dizzy then passes out, he is also very depressed, he has lost a lot of weight in the past month, he does not eat right or drink proper and drinks too much alcohol. He has been to the hospital a couple of times and they say they don't know what's wrong. He seems to have alzheimers.

Hi,
The symptoms of Alzheimers include
1. memory loss disrupting normal life
2. Difficulty in solving routine daily problems/ tasks
3. confusion with time & place
4. poor judgment
5. withdrawal from social activities

However, in view of the information provided it appears to be alcoholic neuropathy. Levels of various nutrition could be reduced leading to this condition.

Most importantly Alcohol should be avoided. Try seeking help for de-addiction. other that that, nutritional improvement, particularly vitamins will help in reducing neurological symptoms.

Looking at the symptoms, Alzheimer's can be ruled out.

Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be here to help.
