Alzheimers Disease
By
C. Bailey-Lloyd
What is Alzheimer's Disease? Alzheimer's Disease is a form of progressive,
degenerative dementia that disables behavior, memory and thinking abilities.
Alzheimer's disease varies from person to person, and may progress at different
rates.
Common risk factors for Alzheimer's disease is having a family history, longterm
high blood pressure, head trauma history, heightened levels of homocysteine, and
female gender.
Alzheimer's disease is known to destroy nerve cells (neurons) that subsequently
causes a descrease in neurotransmitters. When the correct balance is not
maintained by neurotransmitters, the brain's functioning becomes critically
improvised.
Some early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease include the following:
Difficulty performing tasks
Disorientation in familiar surroundings
Disassociation of names for common objects
Lack of interest in usually enjoyable activies
Misplacement of items
Repetitive statements
Though there is no cure for Alzheimer's Diseease, there are options for
treatment that can slow the disease progression, help manage behavior problems,
and assistance with family counsel.
Aside from medications and lifestyle modifications, alternative supplements such
as ginkgo biloba and Vitamin E are helpful as well.
Taking routine walks with a friend or caregiver, bright light therapy, music
therapy, animal intervention like a pet cat or dog, relaxation techniques and
regular massages are also superb remedies for persons suffering from Alzheimer's
Disease.
