Alzheimer's Disease

Type: Keyphrase

Name: Alzheimer's Disease

description: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive disease of the brain that is characterized by impairment of memory and a disturbance in at least one other thinking function (for example, language or perception of reality). Many scientists believe that AD results from an increase in the production or accumulation of a specific protein (beta-amyloid protein) that leads to nerve cell death. Loss of nerve cells in strategic brain areas, in turn, causes deficits in the neurotransmitters, which are the brain's chemical messengers

...BETH ERICKSON, Ph D , speaker and author based in Edina, Minn., can discuss the issues related to a loved one afflicted with Alzheimer s disease: "Caring for an Alzheimer's patient is perhaps second only in difficulty to tending to a chronically and persistently mentally ill loved one. In both cases, you never know if they are going to return to a state of sentience. And if they don't, they are there but not there. Yet, they are not gone so caregivers can get on with life. In these instances, it is difficult for loved ones' lives to normalize. The longer it goes on, the more family members wonder if they ever will."
