How Do You Know For Sure?

Knowledge is a great gift and the process to retain what we’ve learned is taken for granted most of the time.

Our September newsletter is about Alzheimer’s disease. We discuss what Alzheimer’s is, what the symptoms are plus knowing how to recognize the signs for early detection. This is an area that we all need to be informed about especially as we watch our elderly parents/ grandparents and loved ones age.

Things that we witness with aging parents and pass off as their frustration, mood swings, minor “senior moments” and the like could be indications of something else going on.

Have you ever thought about this? That our memory is the foundation for our exisitance. From our early years, all through our aging process to mature adulthood, is all made from our memories. “Who we are” is the compilation of all of our thoughts, experiences and the rich memories that go with everything in our lives. There’s a level of control and security that accompany our memories and when that starts to weaken over time, the results manifest themselves in different ways.

And now, that’s starting to happen in your elderly parents/ grandparents or loved ones. What you do about this and your ability to make informed decisions relies on your abilty to make the proper diagnosis. Or simply put, how you know for sure without guessing.

We’ve posted an article on this website that gives an overview on this topic titled: What is Alzheimer’s? Another article that’s very helpful on this subject is called 10 Signs of Alzheimers. We’ve also posted an article that gives great insights on early detection called: Earlier Diagnosis.
