The symptoms of Alzheimer’s due to changes in the brain may rear their head several years before one might be diagnosed. This progressive, neuro degenerative disease is marked by loss of function and death of nerve cells in several areas of the brain. This results in a loss of cognitive function such as memory and language.
Diagnosing Alzheimer’s:
Doctors diagnose Alzheimer’s carefully in steps which include knowing the patient’s complete medical history, mental status testing, physical and neurological exam as well as blood tests and brain imaging to rule out other causes of dementia.
Symptoms of Alzheimer’s:
Having an awareness of these symptoms is important–may it be observing these signs in a near and dear one or in yourself.
A mild form of Alzheimer’s may initially manifest itself in the form of forgetfulness, difficulty with every day chores, inability to communicate or feeling lost in familiar settings.
Over the years, mild Alzheimer’s may develop to a moderate stage of the disease and then a severe stage. When the disease is severe, patients may have trouble remembering the names of family members and have problems doing things for themselves like getting dressed or using the washroom
Physical problems may include a loss in weight, skin infections, pneumonia, bowel problems, and difficulty in walking as well as irregular sleep patterns.
Medication for Alzheimer’s:
ARICEPT is a medication for oral administration in film-coated tablets containing 5, 10, or 23 mg of donepezil hydrochloride. This is an enzyme blocker that restores the balance of natural substances (neurotransmitters) in the brain.
Aricept does not cure Alzheimer’s but is prescribed by doctors to treat confusion related to Alzheimer’s disease. It works to improve memory, awareness, and the ability to function.
