Many are afraid to offend or anger relatives, pointing to their memory problems. If we take into account the fact that Alzheimer's disease is incurable, many are not in a hurry to visit a specialist, believing that it makes no sense to learn a disappointing diagnosis as soon as possible.

Here's why: maybe this person does not suffer from this disease. Do not just expect the worst. Even if the patient showed dementia, it does not always mean Alzheimer's disease. Many other factors may cause dementia or similar symptoms. The reasons may be a lack of vitamins, thyroid problems The thyroid gland - is responsible for your hormones Depression Depression - a little more than a bad mood , Investigation of interaction taking medication, alcohol abuse. Many of these reasons are eliminated. Failure to appeal to the specialist condemns human suffering without the possibility to get professional help.

The sooner the diagnosis, the better you can prepare for what awaits you. It is very hard to accept the fact that the one you love is suffering from Alzheimer's disease Alzheimer's disease - can be slowed down, it can not be cured . Try to become aware of this fact without delay the thought of him in the future, so you will be easier to deal with it afterwards.
