Episode Synopsis

The FDA approved a new Alzheimer's preliminary screening test; the first of its kind to rule out the degenerative brain disease in a primary care setting. It's now available and it's also Alzheimer's Awareness Month. Dr. Jonathan Fellows, a neurologist at Corewell Royal Oak and MIND in Farmington Hills, shares more information on the test, early warning signs, how to differentiate signs of Alzheimer's from regular aging--and do certain OTC medicines contribute to dementia? He spoke with WWJ's Christina McDaniel, emphasizing that early diagnosis matters (Photo Credit: seb_ra/GettyImages).
