Alzheimer The Slow Poison
July 21, 2009
“Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer Type”, commonly abbreviated as SDAT or known as Alzheimer’s is one of the most widespread forms of “dementia”. This disease is one of the most unfortunate of diseases happening to man; it is an incurable, terminal, and a degenerative disease of the mind.
This disease was observed for the first time by renowned German neuro-pathologist and psychiatrist “Alois Alzheimer” in the year of nineteen hundred and six.
The Alzheimer’s is chiefly found to be affecting the people who are 55-60 years old. Although it does affect other age groups, this is extremely rare and such a stage is called the “early onset Alzheimer’s”.
A research suggests an estimate of twenty six point six million of the world’s population had a history of this disease in two thousand six, and has a possibility to quadruple by the year two thousand fifty.
Every sufferer of the disease Alzheimer has a unique experience. There are however a lot of familiar symptoms to this disease. Maximum of these symptoms are often mistaken to be generic concerns and resultant of, old age or stress. The widest recognized of the symptoms is that of -memory loss. The victim starts to forget recent faces.
With the advancement in stages of the disease symptoms like irritability, mood swings, language breakdowns, and increased aggression can come into the forefront. Alzheimer’s finally leads to “long-term memory loss”, and a common withdrawal of the sufferer, due to constant decline in their senses. Gradually the body ceases to perform the general biological functions, leading to death of the person.
The dangerous element of this disease is that the symptoms can lay recessive for an indefinite period before it becomes completely apparent, making an individual diagnosis quite difficult. This disease takes indefinite time duration before it becomes completely dominant, leading to chances of being undiagnosed for days and years before getting diagnosed.
The suggestive expectancy of life after the start of diagnosis is approximately seven years. Even a less than three percent of the patient’s succeed in staying alive for a further fourteen years after the start of diagnosis.
