Alzheimers

Alzheimer is a brain disease, which is resulted due to deterioration of brain neurons. Our brain contains some 100 billion neurons or nerve cells, it controls whatever we think, memorize, and understand. Our brain controls many aspects of our personality and thinking mannerism. Alzheimer results in loss of memory (primarily), judgment and reasoning, movement coordination and recognition, and other physiological effects. In the later stages of the disease, loss may prove fatal and result into complete memory loss and mental functional imbalance.

The disease is fatal and complex as it takes away your thinking capabilities. For example, it’s alright if you forget someone’s telephone number, but it’s serious when you forget how to dial a number. This disease is seen commonly among aged people of sixty years and above, but recent studies have reported disease among the people of forty too.

This progressive brain disorder is caused due to weakening in brain cells. Thus, the person affected may lose the ability to learn, communicate, make judgments, and lack reasoning. It takes away the very important human aspects from the affected patient. The later stages of the disease are very fatal and in-human. Patient becomes bed ridden and need constant help from others even to eat and to go to toilet. Patients also may experience convulsions and seizures and may become incompetent to perform even menial task.

Symptoms of Alzheimer brain disorder:

• Lack of ability to perform physical activities such as dressing, eating (Apraxia), movement
• Loss of ability in comprehension of spoken or written language (Aphasia)
• Problems in vision and delusions
• Loss of memories
• Effects of stress on the body
• Unable to comprehend the season or the surrounding
• Easily lost and confused due to inability in judgment making and reasoning.
• Inability to learn new mental tasks
• Loss of inhibitions and belligerence
• Visual hallucinations

The early stages of the disease will make the patient forget little things like forgetting the names and faces. However, as it grows, patient starts facing problems like forget whether its summer or winter, forget the breakfast and again ask for it. This is commonly found in the aged person and may result into failure of mental balance completely in the end (memory loss).

However, today we have immense knowledge about the disease, but still we do not have enough medication to cure it. Caring for the large number of people who are becoming victim to the disease, federal bodies have burdened huge sums on the health care bodies, which are constantly in the field to search for medication or medical alternative to cure this fatal disease.

One of the offsets of the disease, that patient in the early stages may start forgetting small things, which are miscalculated by their age. But gradually, cognitive abilities of mental conditions like thinking, learning, judging and forgetting the things increases which then erodes the human mind resulting in personality changes and difficult behaviors may emerge.

Alzheimer can evolved in the human brain over decades and do not show immediate signs or warnings. It replaces the brain’s superb powers and paths with mounds of sticky plaque and expanses of dead, twisted neurons. In its later stages, the disease eventually leads to death.
