Dementia(Alzheimer's disease): Identifying The Early Signs of Memory Loss

By Angela Griffith

The most prevalent type of dementia, accounting for 60 to 80% of cases, is Alzheimer's disease. It is a degenerative neurological condition that harms the brain and impairs memory and thinking abilities. Memory loss, confusion, trouble speaking and understanding language, problems with judgment and reasoning, problems with abstract thought, problems with daily tasks, and changes in mood and personality are only a few signs of Alzheimer's disease. The symptoms of the disease worsen over time and may result in a complete loss of mental capacity.

Amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles are two types of protein buildup in the brain that contribute to Alzheimer's disease. The connections between brain cells are harmed by these plaques and tangles, which eventually cause neurons to die and the mental deterioration linked to Alzheimer's. Although the precise etiology of the development of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles is unknown, a mix of hereditary and environmental factors is thought to be responsible.

The goal of Alzheimer's disease treatment is to control symptoms and halt the illness's progression. The use of drugs to enhance brain function, alterations in lifestyle to lower stress levels and enhance mental performance, and therapies to help manage symptoms and support an independent lifestyle are all possible forms of treatment. Moreover, studies are being conducted to create novel Alzheimer's treatments as well as methods to stop or postpone the disease's onset.
