  nderstanding Alzheimer's:
Alzheimer's disease is a condition that selectively damages the brain cells that affect
memory, judgment, and speech. The destruction of brain cells eventually leads to mental
impairment, dementia, and death. There is currently no cure for Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's disease develops very slowly. During the first two years, the only symptoms
may be memory loss for recent events and occasional disorientation. It may be difficult to
distinguish these symptoms from the loss in the speed of memory recall that can be a
normal part of aging. As the disease progresses, however, memory loss continues and
language and judgment become impaired. During this stage, the person may develop problems
doing routine activities. In the final stage of the disease, the individual may become
completely dependent upon others for all activities of daily living. Today, an estimated 4 million people in the U.S. suffer from Alzheimer's and related disorders. Many of those people are cared for by family members or friends. Others live in continuing care facilities where there is constant attention and medical care. Whatever the circumstances, Alzheimer's patients and their families and friends have special needs. Caring for A Loved One With Alzheimer's |
