Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive disease that impairs memory function and various cognitive abilities in older adults. It mostly affects adults 65 and up, but in some cases, it can affect adults younger than 65, also known as early-onset Alzheimer’s.
An important distinction to make about Alzheimer’s disease is that it is different from normal age-related changes.
Signs of Alzheimer’s disease vary, but some of the most common ones include:
As aforementioned, some of these signs may appear as normal difficulties that arise with age, but it is important to consider the effect on your loved one’s life. If you find that your loved one is exhibiting any of these signs and they are negatively affecting their life, consult a doctor. A doctor can determine the cause of these symptoms through different tests.
Upon completion of the tests, the doctor may reveal the rationale behind the diagnosis, severity, and next steps for treatment and care. Sometimes you may receive a referral to a specialist who will develop a specific care plan for your loved one.
An Alzheimer’s diagnosis is life changing not just for the person diagnosed, but for their family and friends as well. You may feel a myriad of emotions immediately after receiving news about somebody you love. While it is important to seek next steps about your recently diagnosed loved one, it is equally as important to determine next steps for yourself. Allowing time to grieve and seeking emotional support is crucial, as the Alzheimer’s journey can be uncertain or even frightening.
Unfortunately, there is no cure currently available for Alzheimer’s Disease, but treatments exist to slow the progression of symptoms. Various medications help to slow symptoms, though you may want to consider further methods to support and improve the quality of life of your loved one with Alzheimer’s disease.
