A health conference as seen on the National News stated that unfortunately there is no cure or completely successful treatment for Alzheimers. Alzheimers has become a "catch all" for different types of dementia and a bad joke about aging or physically related mental problems.. BUT IT IS NO JOKE. Once thought to be a disease only for the real old, "broke down", and infirm, it is striking much younger people, people of good health, and others who didn't seem to be at risk for it.
It is a known fact that Alzheimers is caused by the build up of a protein plaque in the brain that tangles up with nerves and cells and so kills or impairs them. Main factors that increase the risk of Alzheimers or influence the severity of it are most notably general poor health, especially poor cardiovascular health, brain trauma such as head injury, stroke and genetic likelihood of getting it. Then any toll on the brain such as side effects of medication, radiation treatments, alcoholism, drug and tobacco use can be additional factors. And even less obvious but just as significant, preexisting health problems or disability and mental or emotional health problems. Prevention and/or management then most depends on overall lifestyle, diet, exercise, correcting poor health as much as possible and securing good mental and emotional health.
Such conditions stated above creates a given amount of stress anyway, especially if they were present the most of a person's life, but can at times become overwhelming for even the best adjusted person because of the significant changes that occur and the ever-changing adjustments required to manage and maintain a good quality of life. Not only should improving general overall health as much as possible be employed but also just as importantly employment of enrichment such as leisure, hobbies, constructive occupation, and social networking such as family relationships and friendships. Boredom and loneliness can be the biggest downfall of health and it has been noticed that the worse among Alzheimers victims were those who were alone or not very active.
Alzheimers most notably begins with forgetfulness and mild confusion, can progress to impaired physical and mental abilities, increase in severity to debilitating mental problems and eventually shutdown of the body until breathing or heart function stops. It's almost like the person is going back in reverse from adulthood to infancy then death. The disease can stall at any given stage, take years to slowly progress and so can manage to blend in with the usual aging process and thus be easier to adjust to and manage or it can seem to occur quickly and drastically with rapid deterioration and so be very hard to adjust to much less manage. It is a very distressful disease.
So the very most important keys concerning Alzheimers, more important than the physical and mental influences and any practices and medication that can indeed help manage it, is the level of comfort and security a person feels with their family, friends and other outsiders, ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE WHO ASSUME THE ROLE OF ASSISTANT, AIDE OR CAREGIVER.
Existing health problems, illness or disability causes enough stress on its own and can get overwhelming even under the best of care. When a sufferer does not have or is unable to feel a sense of security and comfort with family, friends, caregivers and other outside sources , actual physical, emotional and/or mental distress can occur causing mental breakdown. which can be corrected or delayed by intervention.
Such distress begins with the sufferer having to care for themself when they need help and continue daily responsibilities that they have lost full ability to manage. In that time, they may have problems keeping up with medications, become accident prone, more likely to get sick. Without intervention, such distress can mimic Alzheimers then cause irreversible health problems and in worst cases sufferers wind up abandoned or missing and homeless, their best luck being to end in a nursing home, in city jail for vagrancy or being a nuisance, or indigent care hospitals.
So it of FOREMOST importance that THE BEST intervention to employ is a system of care and support that helps the sufferer maintain or regain good health but also their trust, security and comfort with other people. Such intervention may require not being able to keep the sufferer in their own home or at home with the family in order to ease the heavy burden of caring for a loved one. The adjustment can be difficult but very worthwhile if it gives a loved one the best quality of life.
As a stressed life is distressed to a distressful end, Alzheimers is the cruel cure that wipes out the suffering a person living a life of stress and distress is no longer able to live with.
