Now let us understand what Alzheimer’s is:
It is a syndrome which is associated with the decline of brain functioning specifically amongst the people aged 50 or above. It majorly affects the memory storing capacity, thinking, logical skills and other mental abilities.
The exact cause of this disease is not yet known, still, several factors are thought to increase your risk of developing this disease.
These include:
Growing old,
Hereditary conditions,
Depressions, and many more.
Various Stages of Alzheimer’s disease:
•Stage 1: Normal Outward Behavior
When your loved one is in this early phase, he won’t have any symptoms that’ll show that they have got Alzheimer’s. But as they move into the further stages, you will see major changes in their thinking and reasoning.
•Stage 2: Very Mild Changes
You still might not notice major changes, but they might be picking up on small differences. This could include forgetting a word or misplacing objects.
•Stage 3: Mild Decline
At this point that you may start to notice changes in the patient’s thinking.
•Stage 4: Moderate Decline
During this time, the problems in their thinking and reasoning that you noticed in the stage get more obvious. They might forget important details about themselves.
Though Alzheimer’s has no cure as such, treatments for symptoms are still available and research to find a cure continues. Current Alzheimer’s treatments cannot stop this disease from progressing, but they can temporarily slow the worsening of the symptoms and improve quality of life. Today, there is a worldwide effort under experiment to find better ways to treat the disease, delay the disease’s onset, and prevent it from developing further.
Alzheimer’s, a progressive and irreversible neurological disorder which impairs basic neurological functioning is one of the leading cause of death for people aged 55 and over. Alone in India, more than 4 million people suffer from this disease.
