Hi everyone, Anne Fraser here. Today, on 'Bringing Hope to Alzheimer's', I delve deeper into the personal stories surrounding my parents' journey with Alzheimer's and dementia. Both of them were diagnosed around the age of 70, and their experiences, diagnoses, and subsequent passing taught me so much about the conditions they lived with.
What You Will Learn:
- A personal recount of how Alzheimer's manifested differently in my mother and father.
- How the diagnosis tools have evolved over the years, especially after the period my parents were diagnosed.
- The importance of understanding the spectrum of dementia and its various types, with Alzheimer's being the most common.
- My personal experience with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and how I was able to witness cognitive reversal.
As we delve into Alzheimer's care and the different facets of dementia, it's crucial to understand the significance of early diagnosis. Thanks to advancements in medical science, we now have improved tools for assessment, making it easier to not only diagnose but also treat the symptoms.
For anyone witnessing the early signs of cognitive decline or Alzheimer's, it's never been a better time to seek professional advice. The potential for cognitive improvement exists, even if we don't have a definitive cure yet.
Thanks for joining me today. Please share this video with anyone you believe it may help. Let's keep spreading hope, awareness, and information. Remember, early diagnosis can make all the difference.
See you in the next edition of 'Bringing Hope to Alzheimer's'. Stay informed and hopeful.
