Have
you
observed
your
mother
placing
her
car
keys
in
the
refrigerator
or
television
remote
in
the
kitchen
cabinets
recently?
Your
name
is
Donna
but
yesterday,
she
mistakenly
called
you
"
Wanda”.
She
was
also
looking
for
"the
thing
you
use
for
brushing
your
teeth”.
She
continues
to
relate
the
same
tale
of
the
cat that
enjoys
playing
with
paper
towel
rolls.
At
some
point,
one
must
no
longer
brush
symptoms
off
as
senior
issues;
they
must
realize
that
they
are
signs
of
Alzheimers
disease.
It
is
perfectly
normal
for
an
older
person
to
walk
into
a
room
and
momentarily
forget
why
or
to
experience
temporary
difficulty
remembering
a
particular
word.
You
may
forget
petty
and
or
important
things
such
as
names
of
persons,
appointments,
days
and
many
others.
You
may
make
a
terrible
choice
or
may
discover
that
balancing
your
checkbook
to
be
impossible.
There
are
a
number
of
ways
by
which
the
aging
people
who
don’t
have
Alzhemers
diagnosed
can
enhance
the
function
of
their
brain,
such
as
taking
fish
oil
supplements,
increasing
work
outs,
solving
word
puzzles,
reading
and
gaining
some
interesting
hobbies.
Alzheimers
symptoms
by
contrast,
are
more
frequent
and
are
of
a
greater
severity
than
normal
issues
of
aging.
Persons
who
under
mental
or
emotional
breakdowns
or
depression
usually
exhibit
drastic
mood
swings,
personality
changes,
and
temporary
memory
loss.
Some
of
the
symptoms
exhibited
by
Alzheimers
patients
include
lethargy,
substitution
of
words,
and
asking
the
same
questions
over
and
over.
Patients
inflicted
with
the
progressive
Alzheimers
disease
may
forget
all
sorts
of
things
and
entire
experiences,
and
soon
they
will
not
be
able
to
care
for
themselves.
As
the
symptoms
of
Alzheimers
disease
intensify,
it
may
become
necessary
to
move
to
an
assisted
living
facility.
Methods
of
coping
are
available
to
seniors
whose
Alzheimers
symptoms
progress.
An
Alzheimers
support
group
is
a
good
start
for
caregivers
to
learn
new
ways
for
dealing
with
situations
and
dealing
with
unhealthy
emotions,
like
frustration
or
depression.
Razadyne
and
Exeleon
might
inhibit
deterioration
for
Alzheimers
patients.
Symptoms
of
Alzheimers
are
known
to
slow
down
if
Vitamins
E
and
C
are
given
along
with
Estrogen
therapy
to
prevent
the
brain
from
further
injury.
