Senior Moment or Alzheimer's?
Over 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease. In 2050, that number is expected to rise to as many as 16 million.
Well, it's said that everything comes with a price. The average American now lives almost thirty years longer than a hundred years ago. But for millions of people, the price of longevity has been Alzheimer's disease.
The greatest fear my patients express to me is, "I think I'm losing my mind."
They usually relate small lapses of memory:
- "I was making a phone call and I couldn't remember who I was calling."
- "I saw somebody I know like the back of my hand and I couldn't think of her name."
- "I lost my train of thought mid-sentence."
Are they overloading their synapses with all the multi-tasking they do, is it normal aging, or is the beginning of Alzheimer's? That is the usual question.
And what about my patients who complain of mild memory loss?
Much of the time such lapses do turn out not to be early Alzheimer's but are significant just the same and may proceed to the dreaded mind-robber. But it's not a normal part of aging. That's a myth. But many conservative conventional doctors can be too dismissive of such complaints, saying, "That happens to me, too," they say.
It turns out that changes in the brain probably start to occur about 10-15 years before the onset of Alzheimer's disease symptoms.
Preventing Alzheimer's is possible. Indeed one recent research article revealed that simply by exercising and eating well you can diminish your risk from 21% to 9%.
The situation is urgent. As the population ages, the numbers of people developing Alzheimer's disease is expected to increase dramatically without adapting a preventive program.
It's clear we need to make preventing Alzheimer's disease a national priority and I know that we can head off what is obviously an impending disaster.
