Who's afraid of Alzheimer's ?
Who's afraid of Alzheimer's ?
In the following analysis the French Professor Bruno Dubois Director of the Institute of Memory and Alzheimer's Disease (IMMA) at La Pitié-Salpêtrière - Paris Hospitals / addresses the subject in a rather reassuring way:
"For some time now, I have been stuck and I do not know
what were I talking about ...
Before, I was afraid it was a beginning of Alzheimer's ... but today, reading
this article, I am reassured. "
"If anyone is aware of his memory problems, he does not have Alzheimer's. "
1. I forget the names of families ...
2. I do not remember where I put some things ...
It often happens in people 60 years and older that they complain
that they lack memory:
"The information is always in the brain, it is the" processor
"that is lacking. "
This is "Anosognosia" or temporary forgetfulness.
Half of people 60 and older have some symptoms that are due to
age rather than disease.
The most common cases are:
- forgetting the name of a person,
- going to a room in the house and not remembering why we were going there ...
- a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress,
- a waste of time searching where we left his glasses or keys ...
After 60 years most people have such a difficulty,
which indicates that it is not a disease but rather a characteristic due to the
passage of years ...
Many people are concerned about these oversights hence the importance of the following statement:
"Those who are conscious of suffering from these
forgetfulness have no serious problem of memory.
Those who suffer from a memory illness, whose Alzheimer's are not aware of what
is happening. "
Professor Bruno Dubois, Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of people concerned about their oversights:
"The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely it is to suffer from memory sickness. "
- Now a little Neurological Test
Only use your eyes!
1- Find the C in the table below!
