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!

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

- your brain is in perfect shape!
- you are far from having any relationship with Alzheimer's.

So, share this to your over 60 friends, it can reassure them..
