Is Alzheimer's disease serious?

Alzheimer's disease is indeed very serious. There is no better way to cure this disease. It is mainly treated with medication to control the disease and relieve symptoms, and to actively adjust in life. Alzheimer's patients often have decreased memory and are prone to insomnia at night. The brain's reaction ability becomes dull, and they may even forget the routes they often take. Please see the following introduction to see how serious Alzheimer's disease is.

Alzheimer's disease, also known as senile dementia, is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. It has an insidious onset and a chronic and progressive course. It is the most common type of senile dementia. It is mainly manifested by neuropsychiatric symptoms such as progressive memory impairment, cognitive dysfunction, personality changes and language disorders, which seriously affect social, occupational and life functions. The etiology and pathogenesis of AD have not yet been clarified. The characteristic pathological changes are extracellular senile plaques formed by the deposition of β-amyloid protein, intracellular neurofibril tangles formed by excessive phosphorylation of tau protein, and neuron loss accompanied by glial cell proliferation.

Although the most common type of dementia has not yet been found to have a cause, all dementias have signs to follow, and the first sign is amnesia. If you only forget occasionally but can slowly recall it later, this is normal. But if you often forget things, and you still forget some things even if you try hard to remember them, and you can't remember them later, and it even affects your work and life, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up.

Alzheimer's patients must learn to reduce stress on their own, because too much stress can inhibit the activity of brain cells, making the condition more serious. For Alzheimer's patients, they should not keep things to themselves, but should open their hearts to their family members and tell them about their unhappiness. They should also pay attention to proper physical exercise, which can enhance the coordination ability of the cerebellum.
