Did Ronald Reagan have Alzheimer's while in office? Because early symptoms of Alzheimer’s don’t show, many people have wondered if Ronald Reagan did have Alzheimer’s while in office.

It’s unknown how early Alzheimer’s starts before people have symptoms. I’ve read where it can be years. If that is the case, Ronald Reagan may have had very early stage Alzheimer’s while in office.
