Concerned wife has early onset alzheimer's

Reading a bit more and it may be a sign of perimenopause as well...

It’s not just forgetting things, it’s forgetting how to do things and how stuff works. When my Mum has it we actually thought she was depressed at first.

Thank you for all the answers

Hi, does your wife have any autoimmune conditions as these can cause bad bouts of brain fog and poor concentration? I get them from time to time especially when I'm stressed or tired, I'll say the opposite word to what I mean and I temporarily forget the correct word! I've been getting this since my thirties and I'm 63 now and don't consider I have dementia... (yet). Both my mother and maternal grandmother had low level dementia in their late eighties, but this is quite common.

No, she's healthy...that's why I get more worried. On the other hand from what I'm reading (probably not a good thing) symptoms of Alzheimer's usually are not occasional, and probably I'm connecting dots of episodes months apart.
