Alzheimer’s Disease & Dementia

It is a neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and gently degrades over time. Alzheimer's disease is assumed to be caused by the irregular build-up of proteins inside and outside the brain cells. One of the proteins involved is called amyloid, deposits of which form plaques around brain cells. The other protein is called tau, deposits of which form tangles within brain cells. The most common early symptom is struggling in remembering recent actions. As the disease develops, symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation, mood swings, loss of motivation, self-neglect, and behavioral issues.

Dementia is a common term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with everyday life. The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease.

Common Symptoms of dementia include:

 


  • Memory problems
  • Asking the same question repeatedly
  • Difficulty finding or understanding words
  • Feeling confused in an unfamiliar environment
  • Anxiety and withdrawal
  • Mood changes
  • Personality and behavioral changes
  • Sleep disturbances
