fatal hi I’m Rebecca Brayton and welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
learning more about the symptoms and
stages of Alzheimer’s from the Alzheimer
Society of Montreal
what is Alzheimer’s disease exactly how
does it manifest itself as I’m your
disease is in a religious condition that
usually starts after age 65
everyone has memory impairment recent
events in addition difficulty either
with language finding words or finding
your way around such as finding your car
in the parking lot after two to three
years you have difficulty making
decisions and even what clothes to wear
on a given day and then over time you
need assistance to the point where most
people in our culture go to a nursing
home setting and after after 8 to 10
years there are Parkinson like
complications what are the different
stages of the disease the different
stages which are often mentioned when
you get education about the disease
through the Alzheimer Society or mild
moderate or severe or another
classification that is used worldwide
one two seven three being when you have
memory complaints what causes
Alzheimer’s
it looks like Alzheimer’s disease has
multiple causes depending on the age of
onset because we do have people with
Alzheimer as young as 33 or 40 but this
is very rare and it’s caused by a faulty
gene that causes a buildup of a protein
in your brain called I’m elevated but
then most people have the disease when
they’re over 80 where you also have that
protein but it’s not sufficient you also
need small strokes or Parkinson like
changes what symptoms should we look for
depends a bit on your age if you’re 50
and you’re looking for words in a
significant way that could be the case
but if you’re just looking for names of
people it’s not significant over age 65
if you’re starting to forget the dates
of birth of your grandchildren that is
significant how is Alzheimer’s different
from dementia dementia is a syndrome
it’s a general term for people who are
using either acutely or usually over
time their mental capacity and it
affects daily life Alzheimer disease is
one of the causes of dementia how is
Alzheimer’s diagnosed traditionally
Dahmer’s disease required first dementia
to be clinically manifested and then you
look for what is the cause of dementia
for that person it could be a summer
alone Alzheimer with strokes asana with
Parkinson features or some other rare
conditions nowadays we think we can
diagnose Alzheimer disease before
dementia when you’re just still
forgetful
