What is Alzheimer's?
What Causes Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer’s is characterized by the accumulation of abnormal protein deposits in the brain. If you suffer from Alzheimer’s, there is a disruption in the communication between nerve cells. This leads to a gradual decline in cognitive abilities.
The journey through Alzheimer’s often unfolds in stages, each presenting its unique challenges.
Symptoms of Alzheimer's
Early detection is helpful as you strive to manage Alzheimer’s. It typically first appears in the mid to late 60s and may progress slowly or rapidly, depending on the disease.
Some symptoms of Alzheimer’s may include the following if you:
- Forget about recent conversations or events
misplace items. - Forget the names of places and objects.
- Have trouble thinking of the right word.
- Ask questions repetitively.
- Show poor judgment or find it harder to make decisions.
- Become less flexible and more hesitant to try new things.
Diagnosing Alzheimer's
Diagnostic procedures involve:
- Cognitive assessments
- Medical evaluations
- Neuroimaging to rule out other conditions
- Medical history
- Personal health history
Despite the difficulty in accepting a diagnosis, understanding the disease’s progression equips individuals and their families to plan for the future and access appropriate support.
