Hi I understand your concern. Prime symptoms of Alzheimer is forgetfulness or amnesia. It is like unable to remember or register new events. Recent memory affect the most. Remote memory can affect but occurs after long duration. If you have problem in remembering thing in day to day activities then need to asses mental status. MMSE means mini mental status examinations tool is very useful to screen it it is available on net. If Alzheimer dementia diagnose then need to treat in early phase for better outcome. it can be treated with medicines like donepazil or memantin etc. Consult neurologist for further assistance.
