Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive condition, which means that the symptoms arise and worsen over the course of several years. It impacts numerous cognitive processes. Memory issues are often the first indicator of Alzheimer’s disease. As the condition progresses, memory issues become more severe, and other symptoms may emerge.
It is unlikely that persons suffering from this condition would recognise their own symptoms. Lovers, friends, and family are often the first to notice changes in a person’s routines, demeanour, and conduct. This may be highly distressing for individuals concerned; thus, it is crucial that they know how to assist their loved ones cope.
Signs and Symptoms of Alzheimer’s include:
• Confusion, disorientation and getting lost in familiar places
• Difficulty planning or making decisions
• Problems with speech and language
• Issues moving around without assistance or performing self-care
• Personality changes, such as becoming aggressive and demanding
• Hallucinations and delusions
• Frequent low mood or anxiety issues
Due to the gradual onset of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms, it may be difficult to identify a problem. Many individuals believe that memory issues are a natural consequence of ageing. The illness process may impede patients from recognising changes in memory. Yet, Alzheimer’s disease is not a normal aspect of ageing.
A correct and prompt diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease provides the best opportunity to prepare and plan for the future, as well as receive any possibly helpful therapy or assistance. Those Australian folk concerned about their memory or suspect they may have dementia, should see a medical professional immediately.
Bring a spouse, family member, or acquaintance who knows you well and can describe any changes or difficulties they’ve seen. Individuals who are concerned about another person may urge them to make an appointment and invite you to accompany them. A general practitioner may inquire about particular symptoms and may conduct diagnostic tests to rule out other illnesses. When Alzheimer’s disease is suspected, you may be directed to a specialised service to:
• Assess your symptoms in more detail
• Organise further testing, such as brain scans if necessary
• Create a treatment and care plan
Alzheimer’s disease is now incurable, however some of its symptoms are treatable with medication. Assisting persons with Alzheimer’s to live as independently as possible is a range of additional services, such as modifying the home environment to make it simpler to recall daily chores and move about.
Moreover, Canadians may get psychological therapies such as cognitive stimulation therapy to improve memory, problem-solving, and language skills. With the onset of symptoms, Alzheimer’s disease patients may survive for decades. Yet, this may vary considerably between people.
Treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease include:
• Cognitive therapy and exercises
• Medicines designed to sharpen brain functionality
• Specially prepared diet to slow cell deterioration
• Prohibition of harmful environmental causes like smoking and alcohol
Many Alzheimer’s patients die of other causes, unrelated to the disease itself. The neurodegenerative condition Alzheimer’s disease may cause difficulties swallowing. This may result in repeated chest infections and breathing difficulties.
Also frequent among Alzheimer’s disease patients are eating difficulties and a diminished appetite. It is becoming more clear that Alzheimer’s disease sufferers need palliative care to live properly. This includes help for Alzheimer’s patients and their families.
The majority of healthcare institutions worldwide, including Australia, are overworked and lack the necessary resources to treat Alzheimer’s disease appropriately. By tracking the evolution of a loved one’s condition, friends, family, and partners may play a key role in helping.
