How well you fare is determined by YOU****** "Alzheimers Disease- You Can Survive"will map out a clear and practical plan for caring for yourself and your loved one, living healthy and overcoming the challenges of caring for someone with Alzheimer's Disease WHEN YOU FIRST FOUND out that your loved one had Alzheimer's disease and you realized that you would have primary responsibility for their care, you probably experienced a wave of emotions: concern, fear, confusion, maybe even anger. You probably heard so much about the disease from friends and other family members and seen others go through the challenges associated with the disease that you were uncertain about your ability to cope. However, despite the fact that Alzheimer's disease is a serious condition and being a caregiver to someone with the disease can be an overwhelming experience that can lead to burnout. And, despite the fact that it can bring irreversible changes to lives and relationships causing many caregivers to try balancing their role with job and family responsibilities, the good news is that there is a lot you can do to stay healthy and improve your quality of life as you journey through the unchartered waters of Alzheimer's caregiving. There are millions of Alzheimer's caregivers, just like you, all over the world who provide invaluable care to family and friends and are able to continue living healthy and fulfilled lives. One in eight older Americans has Alzheimer's disease. It is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. Over 15 million Americans provide unpaid care for persons with Alzheimer's or other Dementia. In Canada one in every five Canadians provide some form of care for seniors with Alzheimer's disease and family caregivers contribute over $5 billion dollars of unpaid care. There are estimated to be over 670,000 people in the UK acting as the primary caregivers for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and contributing over 8 billion pounds in unpaid care. Always keep in mind that how well you fare during this journey is determined by you. Being a caregiver to someone with Alzheimer's disease is something that you can manage well, by making some important lifestyle changes including mental, physical and spiritual changes. When you take the reins and make a conscious decision to survive, you will! I have seen this firsthand in my life, and that of family members and friends who have changed their approach to caregiving and have reaped the benefits-Alzheimers Disease- Loves Lives On will map out a clear and practical plan for living healthy, overcoming the challenges of Alzheimer's caregiving and surviving the journey physically, socially and emotionally sound. Once you know what the Alzheimer's disease is, how it affects your loved one and in turn you and others around and you sincerely want to make life easier and happier for you and your loved ones you'll feel more in control and less afraid of life and the future as a primary caregiver.

Download or read book Dementia Reimagined written by Tia Powell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, the cultural and medical history of dementia and Alzheimer's disease by a leading psychiatrist and bioethicist who urges us to turn our focus from cure to care. Despite being a physician and a bioethicist, Tia Powell wasn't prepared to address the challenges she faced when her grandmother, and then her mother, were diagnosed with dementia--not to mention confronting the hard truth that her own odds aren't great. In the U.S., 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 every day; by the time a person reaches 85, their chances of having dementia approach 50 percent. And the truth is, there is no cure, and none coming soon, despite the perpetual promises by pharmaceutical companies that they are just one more expensive study away from a pill. Dr. Powell's goal is to move the conversation away from an exclusive focus on cure to a genuine appreciation of care--what we can do for those who have dementia, and how to keep life meaningful and even joyful. Reimagining Dementia is a moving combination of medicine and memoir, peeling back the untold history of dementia, from the story of Solomon Fuller, a black doctor whose research at the turn of the twentieth century anticipated important aspects of what we know about dementia today, to what has been gained and lost with the recent bonanza of funding for Alzheimer's at the expense of other forms of the disease. In demystifying dementia, Dr. Powell helps us understand it with clearer eyes, from the point of view of both physician and caregiver. Ultimately, she wants us all to know that dementia is not only about loss--it's also about the preservation of dignity and hope.

Download or read book Mind Thief written by Han Yu and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alzheimer’s disease, a haunting and harrowing ailment, is one of the world’s most common causes of death. Alzheimer’s lingers for years, with patients’ outward appearance unaffected while their cognitive functions fade away. Patients lose the ability to work and live independently, to remember and recognize. There is still no proven way to treat Alzheimer’s because its causes remain unknown. Mind Thief is a comprehensive and engaging history of Alzheimer’s that demystifies efforts to understand the disease. Beginning with the discovery of “presenile dementia” in the early twentieth century, Han Yu examines over a century of research and controversy. She presents the leading hypotheses for what causes Alzheimer’s; discusses each hypothesis’s tangled origins, merits, and gaps; and details their successes and failures. Yu synthesizes a vast amount of medical literature, historical studies, and media interviews, telling the gripping stories of researchers’ struggles while situating science in its historical, social, and cultural contexts. Her chronicling of the trajectory of Alzheimer’s research deftly balances rich scientific detail with attention to the wider implications. In narrating the attempts to find a treatment, Yu also offers a critical account of research and drug development and a consideration of the philosophy of aging. Wide-ranging and accessible, Mind Thief is an important book for all readers interested in the challenge of Alzheimer’s.

This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet summarizes what scientists have learned so far and where research is headed. There is no definitive evidence yet about what can prevent Alzheimer's or age-related cognitive decline. What we do know is that a healthy lifestyle-one that includes a healthy diet, physical activity, appropriate weight, and no smoking-can maintain and improve overall health and well-being. Making healthy choices can also lower the risk of certain chronic diseases, like heart disease and diabetes, and scientists are very interested in the possibility that a healthy lifestyle might have a beneficial effect on Alzheimer's as well. In the meantime, as research continues to pinpoint what works to prevent Alzheimer's, people of all ages can benefit from taking positive steps to get and stay healthy.
Download or read book Breakthrough written by Peter Dredge and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ann Dredge was a fit, active woman. A keen cyclist and sportswoman. But after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, she became unable to walk or talk and was expected to die within six months Incredibly, three years later, she's alert and responding to her carers! This book is a roadmap for those whose loved ones demonstrate early symptoms of Alzheimer's and shows that, with determination and dedication, it may be possible to arrest their decline and even recover lost function. It's an inspiring story, offering hope to sufferers and carers alike. Alzheimer's is fast becoming the biggest medical, social and financial challenge of this century. "Today around 50 million people in the world display Alzheimer's symptoms, a figure expected to increase to 150 million globally by 2050. To put it in another perspective, by 2050 nearly half of people over age 85 will display Alzheimer's symptoms." This means that soon, if it hasn't happened already, someone you love will be diagnosed with Alzheimer's. What will you do? That's the question Peter Dredge faced when his wife, Ann, was diagnosed in 2012. For a start, he threw himself into learning more about Alzheimer's. He learned it's not so much a disease as a range of symptoms with many possible causes. Current research has identified over 40 possible contributing factors including lifestyle, genetics and environmental exposure. And yet Peter found most medical practitioners believe Alzheimer's sufferers are doomed to an inevitable, terminal outcome. Their "treatment" recommendation is sedation and palliative care. However, Peter discovered research teams who are achieving high levels of success treating people with early stage Alzheimer's symptoms. 'Breakthrough' describes his journey in uncovering the new treatment protocols and gaining access for Ann. You'll be glad you read it.
