What Is Alzheimer's Disease, Symptoms?how Can You Slow Down Alzheimer?
* One of earliest symptoms that most of us disregard, is forgetfulness, specially if we are dealing with an elderly adult. To be forgetful is common amongst older people and sometimes we might night recognize that it is the first sign of Alzheimer when we are caring for our elderly. * Unfortunately we start noticing these changes when this symptom progresses to more severe symptoms such as performing a very easy and regular tasks. * Alzheimer's Disease changes the personality of the person. This can be very devastating to people around the patient, specially if the patient is a parent or a loved one. For example a person who has been kind and caring may begin to become violent and use inappropriate and filthy words. * Alzheimer has a few stages and in later stages the patient becomes incapable of doing anything or performing any task, eventually he/she loses the power of speech and even the ability to walk and lose the total memory. * We can slow down the process of this disease if we start useful treatment at early stages. * Once Alzheimer's disease is diagnosed, then the person should be given as much help and aid as feasible, especially in the early stages. Unfortunately many people who are diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease are conscious at first that something is wrong with them (although they may go into denial), and being aware you are "losing your mind" can be a truly shocking and frightening experience. * Their family ought, also to be given help to come to terms with the diagnosis as it can have a distressing effect on them especially if the person with Alzheimer's is younger and brings in part of the household income. * There are several support groups they can join who will help them to adjust and come to terms with the life altering disease that has befallen their loved one. * In the very later stages of Alzheimer's disease, the person gets so bad that many families have no choice but to place their relation in a nursing home so they can be cared for professionally. This can also be distressing for both them and the person who is ill. The cause for Alzheimer's disease is still unknown, yet scientists and doctors have some thoughts about its origins. Some believe the cause of this disease can originate from the deposition of aluminum in the brain, to fluoride in the water but nothing has been positively identified as the course of this horrible disease.
