Abstract On Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a broadminded disease that corrodes memory and other vital mental roles. It is the most common factor that leads to dementia which is a brain disorder that results in loss of academic and social skills. These changes can effect anyone severely enough to affect with everyday life. While having Alzheimer's disease, the brain cells corrupt and die, which causes a stable decline in memory and mental function. Currently Alzheimer's disease medications and management tactics may only momentarily progress symptoms. This sometimes helps people with Alzheimer's disease exploit purpose and preserve independence. But since there is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, it is important to seek helpful facilities as early as possible.

Therapy- (most therapy in later stages is aimed at physical health, mental health therapy is recommended for family members & loved ones)

Alzheimer disorder is an major nervous condition that present in irreparable loss of neuron in the cortex and hippocampus of the brain. The recurrence of the disease is 7% of people above 65 years old and 40% of individual above 80 years old. Patients commonly have issues in decision making, remembrance, and judgment. Pathological lineaments are specified as loss of neuron, extracellular senile plaques include peptide β-amyloid. Diagnosis is established on neurological feedback to rule out other reasons by using autopsy. Dopamine as neurotransmitter has an important part in etiology of Alzheimer disease and it is reduced in this disease.[3]

Imagine if every individual on Earth traveled and attempted to live on a different planet. In reality, lifeforms on Earth cannot sustain life on another planet, it is impossible. The reason being is that lifeforms on Earth require specific (environmental factors) climate, nutrition, and atmospheric exposure. Therefore, an apocalypse could happen through neurodegenerative disorders, excessive climate change (rainfall), and depletion of the ozone layer caused by global warming.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) affects everyone involved: the victim and his/her’s loved ones. First of all, caregivers are often overlooked, and never realized for what sacrifices they give up to care for their loved one. Secondly, the financial burden of caring for someone with Alzheimer’s is a big job that can hurt the opportunities that needed more time to get a better degree. Thirdly, although the victim of Alzheimer’s disease is the ill one, usually, they aren’t the only one suffering from this terrible disease. People must know that the caregivers are fighting just as much as the victim of the disease.

Severe decline is the sixth stage of Alzheimer’s, at this stage the person needs constant supervision, and they require professional care (“What Are The 7 Symptoms of Alzheimer's Disease?”). During this stage, the signs of Alzheimer's have become worse and more evident. Family and friends can easily notice the changes in the person’s behavior. “During stage 6, there are five identifiable characteristics that develop over the course of 2 1/2 years” (Ellis and Higuera). One of the five characteristics that the person will develop is dressing properly. The person with Alzheimer's will have trouble dressing correctly and he of she will need help dressing. The second out of the five characteristics is hygiene. The person's hygiene will start to

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological progressive degenerative disease that has debilitating effects on those stricken. While Alzheimer’s disease will manifest itself in the aged, it can also appear as early as the 40’s. Additionally, Alzheimer’s disease does affect both genders, but is more harshly prevalent with female population. Female population usually represents 60% of the Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis. There is no known cause for this disease only speculation that it could come from environmental or genetic risk factors. It is believed that the brain size shrinks allowing for fewer nerve cells and connections to make communication. Along with nerve cells

“Alzheimer’s Disease is an incurable disease that strips you from your memory and other functions used in daily life." The brain cells degenerates and dies, which result in the patient forgetting how to perform simple daily functions like eat, sleep, walk, or talk. The size of the brain of someone with Alzheimer’s will shrink because the tissue has fewer nerve cell and connections. Studies have shown that every 67 seconds someone is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

Unfortunately there are so many things that change about your life and body as you get older. Ranging from getting wrinkles and easily bruised skin to more serious changes such as chronic or mental illnesses. Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, is one of the unfortunate chronic illnesses that affect a large majority of the United States population. This disease affects your everyday life because it causes a decline in memory and the ability to think and react normally (Ferrini, 2013). There is no cure for this disease, the longer you have it the worse the symptoms get and in some cases it even causes death.

When treating Alzheimer’s disease the main goals are to maintain mental function, manage behavioral symptoms, and slow or delay the disease. As of right now there is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease. There is also not much we understand about the disease or know its causes.

Alzheimer’s disease, one type of dementia, is a degenerative disorder of the brain that is slowly progressive. Eventually this disease will result in abnormal brain function that will lead to death. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of the aging process; symptoms lead to a loss of mental abilities and skills, including the ability of taking care of themselves. Though it is very rare, some people do develop this disease as young as the age of forty. However, the most common age to develop this disease is over the age of sixty-five. Although changes in the brain are similar in different people, the psychological and behavioral symptoms that present may differ from person to person.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is the most prevalent form of dementia, affecting 10% of the population over the age 65 and 50% of the population over 85 (Zhang et al,. 2011). This neurodegenerative disease causes mental and cognitive deficits such as severe memory loss and behavioural changes (Hubin et al,. 2015).

Alzheimer's disease is a brain deteriorating disease. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia. Dementia is a term used to categorize memory loss and other intellectual abilities that affect the quality of life. There is no true reason why people acquire Alzheimer's but there are many things that can lead a patient to contract it. Alzheimer's disease may occur when there is a loss of neurons and when beta plaques form on the outside of neurons. This can interfere with the commutation of neurons which give the brain ability to coordinate with the human body. Scientists believe that people with Alzheimer's disease have acquired the disease from a combination of their genes, lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the brain over

It is estimated that between 4.5 and 5.4 million Americans are affected by Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) (Vanmeter. P. 376). AD is a progressive disease that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Changes with Alzheimer’s Disease are degenerative and results in gross atrophy of the cerebral cortex. The disease destroys brain cells which causes two types of abnormalities; neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques (orange book p. 212). Neurofibrillary tangles cause death of neurons, which contributes to the development of dementia. Amyloid plaque disrupts transmission of nerve impulses. It is not clear if the plaque causes AD or a by-product of the AD process causes it. (212 orange).

Psychology is an applied as well as an academic field that studies both the human mind and behavior. The research in psychology attempts to explain and understand behavior, emotion and thought. The subject of psychology was created when Wilhelm Wundt opened up the very first psychology lab in Leipzig, Germany. Wilhelm Wundt believed that individuals who are appropriately trained would most likely be able to recognize the mental processes that are accompanied with feelings, thoughts and sensations (Wagner , 2009).
