Understanding Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s is a devastating neurodegenerative condition that affects not only to the individual but also to his or her family. A progressive decline of cognitive functions and a loss of mental functionscharacterize Alzheimer’s disease.
Some neuropathological lesions such as the extracellular neuritic plaques,a mix of an abnormal group of dead nerve cells, dying cells and proteins, are commonly formed in Alzheimer’s patients’ brains and brain connections. This and other processes potentiate and cause degeneration of nerve cells involved in memory and higher cognitive functions (thinking, remembering, reasoning).
How Does Alzheimer’s Disease Affect Life?
Alzheimer’s disease is considered the most common type of dementia that generally causes a serious loss of all intellectual capacities; the person will suffer irreversible gradual changes that worsen over time.
As Alzheimer’s disease progresses, the individual will be less and less able to carry out daily life/normal activities and will be unable to live autonomously, requiring a 24-hour supervision.
Alzheimer’s Disease Symptoms:
A person with Alzheimer’s will change over time, as well as his/her behavior and personality. Alzheimer’s Disease usually starts in the 40s or 50s, and it maintains different levels of severity. The most common symptoms are:
- Difficulty remembering both new and well-known information
- Inability to think or reasoning about simple things
- Failure to remember and recognize known people
- Higher difficulty (more than usual), to perform complex tasks
- Deteriorated capacity of cognitive tasks: talking, reading, writing
- Personality changes,
- Normal behavior alteration
- Damaged memory, problems to remember people or events, or even about the personal life.
