At first, people have a hard time remembering recent events, though they might easily recall things that happened years ago. As time goes on, other symptoms can appear, including: -Trouble focusing -A hard time doing ordinary activities -Feeling confused or frustrated, especially at night -Dramatic mood swings incl. outbursts of anger, anxiety, and depression -Feeling disoriented and getting lost easily -Physical problems, such as an odd walk or poor coordination -Trouble communicating People with Alzheimer's might forget their loved ones. They might forget how to dress themselves, feed themselves, and use the toilet. The disease makes brain tissue break down over time. It usually happens to people over age 65. A person can live with Alzheimer's disease for just a few years or for a few decades. More often, however, people live with it for about 9 years. About 1 in 8 people age 65 and over has the disease. Women are more likely to have it than men. ~ What Causes Alzheimer's Disease? ~ People who get Alzheimer's disease are usually older, but the disease isn’t a normal part of aging. Scientists aren’t sure why some people get it and others don’t. But they do know that the symptoms it causes seem to come from two main types of nerve damage: - Nerve cells get tangles, called neurofibrillary tangles. - Protein deposits called beta-amyloid plaques build up in the brain. {Source: WebMD} State-of-the-Art Geri-Psych training originally good for Cont.
