Alzheimer's disease

What is Alzheimer's disease?

 Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, which is the loss of intellectual and social abilities severe enough to interfere with daily functioning. Dementia occurs in people with Alzheimer's disease because healthy brain tissue degenerates, causing a steady decline in memory and mental abilities.
About 4.5 million older Americans have Alzheimer's, a disease that usually develops in people age 65 or older. This number is expected to quadruple by the year 2050 as the population ages.
Although there's no cure for Alzheimer's disease, researchers have made progress. Treatments are available that help improve the quality of life for some people with Alzheimer's. Also, more drugs are being studied, and scientists have discovered several genes associated with Alzheimer's, which may lead to new treatments to block progression of this complex disease.

How are people affected?

Over time, their mental abilities deteriorate, gradually progressing through forgetting important matters, getting confused about where they are and what day it is, to becoming lethargic and withdrawn and starting to neglect personal hygiene.

The sufferer may tend to dwell in the past and mistake friends and neighbours for long-departed family members. Conversation may become repetitive and the personality may alter as people develop odd or uncharacteristic behaviours.

In the later stages of the illness, sufferers lose insight and may not be aware of their plight, which makes the disease particularly hard for careers to bear.

Does Alzheimer's disease progress?

Alzheimer's disease tends to progress, deteriorate and lead to death within 2 to 15 years. However, the progress of the illness varies a lot between individuals. For some, the illness may progress slowly over many years, whereas for others it may progress rapidly.

A number of other treatable medical conditions can mimic Alzheimer's disease. These include thyroid problems, infections, vitamin deficiencies, depression and anxiety. It is vital that any elderly person who is concerned about whether they may be getting Alzheimer's disease sees their family doctor and receives a full medical assessment. This may involve seeing a hospital specialist or coming to Acupuncture and Herbal Treatment in KL .

Never assume that an old person who becomes forgetful will have Alzheimer's disease. For the majority of old people, forgetfulness is simply a nuisance, and most will not develop Alzheimer's disease.
