Symptoms include deterioration in intellectual functions, memory and physical abilities; depression; agitation; and other abnormal mental states. Memory loss usually begins with failure to remember recent events, but may even lead later to inability to recognize relatives. Investigations are important, as there are other causes of degenerative brain and nerve disorders -like drug side effects or vitamin deficiencies - which can be corrected.
