With the increase of age, the function of various organs of the body initially fails, and many elderly people will undergo some changes in their bodies, such as memory loss.
Therefore, after the occurrence of these symptoms, we should be highly vigilant against Alzheimer's disease, and send the elderly to the hospital for treatment in time to avoid exacerbating the disease and affecting the daily life of the elderly.
Many people do not pay attention to the early symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, it is easy to make the disease develop to an advanced stage, thus affecting normal life and social communication.
Therefore, understanding the manifestations of Alzheimer's disease can ensure that the disease is effectively controlled.
First, intellectual decline
If a decrease in the level of intelligence in the elderly is found, this is one of the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, which is closely related to the degeneration of the brain.
Because the ability to think logically declines too quickly, the elderly may not be able to take care of themselves, and it will also bring many inconveniences to their families, so it is necessary to avoid the arrival of this disease.
Second, the change of temperament
After the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease, the temperament will become obedient and emotionally indifferent, such as the once-gentle elderly people become obedient, stubborn and unreasonable, moody, always sentimental, often tantrum.
But this change in temperament often does not improve and can only be alleviated by some conventional methods, such as family companionship.
Third, words cannot be expressed and become very verbose
Language expression is not flowing, vague, slow, often forget the meaning of the expression, can not accurately express their own wishes.
Sometimes it is repetitive, entangled in some unrelated things, constantly cumbersome, always repeating or incoherently repeating, which is very puzzling.
Fourth, vision changes
Most people with dementia are elderly, but in the early stages of the disease, vision loss is present, and symptoms include an inability to see clearly or accurately identify.
In severe cases, some patients will often get lost, which is related to cataracts, and after early diagnosis, there is a high possibility of vision loss caused by untimely treatment.
Fifth, do not understand people and things
If you have Alzheimer's disease, in severe cases, the elderly will not recognize the people around them and do not understand what has happened recently, as most people say, Alzheimer's patients are a bit like children, need the regular companionship and care of their families.
Sixth, the aspect of life
In daily life, patients always forget things, do nothing on the day, and only know what to do at the prompts of their families and those around them.
In the later stage, with the aggravation of the disease, the condition will further deteriorate, thus losing the ability to take care of itself, and only with the help of the family can we live a normal life.
The manifestations of Alzheimer's disease have been clearly understood, and after the early diagnosis of the disease, it is recommended to take drugs to improve the disease, such as drugs that improve the level of intelligence, to eliminate memory loss, unresponsiveness, language dysfunction, disorientation and spatial disorientation, such as memantine, donepezil and other drugs, all have good results.
At the same time, for patients with sleep disorders, some drugs that improve sleep rhythm are also needed, but any medications need to be determined by doctor's arrangement.
The early detection and treatment of Alzheimer's disease is of great significance, in this process the family can not be indifferent, indecisive, must find a regular hospital for examination, follow the doctor's arrangement to improve the disease.
After all, the incidence of this disease is high, which has a serious impact on families, and so far there is no complete cure for the disease, which can only be alleviated through care and adjustment.
