What a week I had with people asking questions about Dementia. Education is the key. Dementia is the umbrella of memory loss conditions and Alzheimers is the most common disease under that umbrella. It is a scary thing to go through but you can get through it with help.
Having Dementia or caring for someone with Dementia is one of the hardest things to do. Your life will change and the adjustment is difficult. It may constantly evolve. Know that there is help and it is something that Scientist and Doctors are working on.
Though there is no cure, there are medicines that will help. There are new experiments that may help future Alzheimer's and Dementia patients.
My hope is that a cure will be found but until then learn as much as you can about this disease. Be aware of the signs of Alzheimer's. Be aware of the possible situations that may happen. Be aware of your emotions. Get help. This is something you can't do alone.
