What would be the earliest stages that you could notice in a loved one? My mother is overly forgetful to the point where we have to give her directions when she's driving home (to her own house) or even to my house. She laughs it off and says she has a lot on her mind. I've said for the past 5 years she should be checked for Alzheimers or something of the likes as her forgetfulness has been getting more severe (that example is nothing compared to what else she does). My family defends her and tells me to leave her alone, but no one can confirm a family history of it as grandpa was a raging alcoholic and grandma died very early on (in her mid 30's when my mom was 8). I'm adopted so I'm not as worried for myself, but this is my mom. To me this is serious but she refuses to go get examined or run any tests and her multiple brothers and sisters also all refuse to get examined or run tests on themselves. Is there anything I can do to convince her to go? I'm worried.
