Speaker:
Kathleen Davies from the Alzheimer's Association shared with us some of the warning signs of alzheimers: short-term memory loss, misplacing items (both without being able to piece together or re-trace steps later on), disorientation (of time, place, other people), poor judgement, forgetting how to solve a problem, anxiety, and depression. Dimensia is not a diagnosis, but is caused by alzheimers. Alzheimers affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It can be fatal when brain cells die that operate vital organs. The cause is still unknown and available medicine only helps lesson some symptons at this point; they do not slow down the onset of actual symptoms. The Alzheimers Association provides support, education, and referrals to other agencies. The also advocate and lobby for alzheimers awareness. At age 65, 1 in 6 people have this disease. At age 85, 1 in 2 have it.
