September 21st marks not only the International Day of Peace, but it is also a very important day to highlight the cases of Alzheimer’s all over the world and in our country. Our country as everywhere has different cases of Alzheimer’s, for that we must be well equipped to help, support and take care of ourselves and others in this area.
Alzheimer’s disease affects different people at different stages and ages of their lives that’s why this year its motto is “never too early never too late” in order to focus and make people aware of the different risks that could potentially end up in Alzheimer’s.
What is Alzheimer’s?
Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking and behavior. The symptoms know how to grow severely to such an extent that it begins to interfere with the person’s daily task and routine. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia which covers 70 percent of dementia cases.
Alzheimer’s unlike dementia is not a normal part of old age although with a high risk of getting Alzheimer’s is with a high age, but Alzheimer’s not only affects people over the age of 65 but can also affect different people that are younger. Alzheimer’s is a disease that is progressive, where certain symptoms can rise and become more difficult to take care of, with good supervision It can reach the point where they will not be able to fully engage in everyday activities and nor respond to their social environment. Alzheimer’s is a disease that requires a lot of attention, protection and support given to the person with the disease to ensure their personal safety.
How to prevent?
The prevention of Alzheimer’s can be very difficult since in the beginning it can be very passive which causes the result to be obtained when heavier symptoms begin to be found, where nothing more can be done, but there are many surveys carried out in the area of dementia and Alzheimer’s that can help to detect certain risks of these diseases. What you can do is check with your family doctor and take a look at each person who may be showing certain risks of Alzheimer’s disease such as memory loss, destruction in communication, problems maintaining a conversation and people with problems of adaptation to their social environment.
What to do?
If you are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer’s there are certain assignments that you can do to stimulate your brain, problems in the brain are very difficult to reverse but with daily training and supervision there are many things that can be achieved. There are several places that give support to people who may suffer from dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, such as the “Cas Marie” that provides different services to people with Alzheimer’s or dementia.
Finally, Alzheimers and dementia are serious diseases that can affect people at different states and ages of their lives, therefore more than ever we should pay attention to others to try to give a hand in supporting people who are on the way to the disease or have it.
Never too early never too late to get this disease, keep in mind every person who may suffer from Alzheimer’s as it can be one of the heaviest diseases in human being.
