When it comes to caring for someone who has Alzheimer's or Dementia it can be a full time job, and if you are raising a family or have other responsibilities this can be very demanding.
What is Alzheimer's? Alzheimer's is a very progressive form of Dementia. Dementia simply describes memory loss and loss of intellectual abilities which are not a normal part of aging. Alzheimer's gets worse over time. That means that as time goes on there is a decrease in memory as well as in the ability to perform daily tasks. Alzheimer's is the most common kind of dementia. The greatest known risk factor for getting Alzheimer's is increasing age, but it can strike as early as your 40's. Unlike normal dementia, Alzheimer's is fatal. It is the sixth largest cause of death in the United States and at some point it makes it impossible for the inflicted person to live alone.
What are the Current Cures and Treatments for Alzheimer's? There is no cure currently, however there are many treatments that can slow the progression of the disease and maybe increase the quality of life for the person who is suffering from the disease.
