Language problems

Language and?communication?difficulties are common in the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease. They tend to involve difficulties finding the right words and not being able to concentrate on what’s being said. As a result, a person with Alzheimer's may:?

  • use more general words like ‘thing’ or ‘stuff’, or say ‘her’ or ‘him’ when they would previously have known a person’s name?
  • pause while they try to think of the word they want to use, particularly when it’s a word they wouldn’t use very often.

It can feel like the word is on the ‘tip of their tongue’ but then it doesn’t come to them. This can also happen with names of people or places. https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/about-dementia/types-dementia/alzheimers-disease-symptoms
