Alzheimer’s & Dementia Resources

Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks.

Causes

One of the great mysteries of Alzheimer’s disease is why it largely strikes older adults. Research on normal brain aging is shedding light on this question.

Getting and Evaluation

If you are concerned about memory loss, the first step is to talk with your general practitioner about any changes you have noticed.

Getting Diagnosed

If you are concerned about changes in memory and thinking or changes in senses, behavior, mood, or movement that do not seem normal in yourself or a family member.

Diagnosis

Receiving a diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but knowing what you’re facing is an important first step toward living well and planning for the future.

Life after Diagnosis

Experiencing changes in your memory can be frustrating and scary. We encourage you to speak with a trusted family member, friend or a healthcare professional if you are having concerns about your memory.

Challenges You May Face

This can often be an emotional, highly-charged topic of discussion. Keep in mind that for most of us our work defines who we are and how we are valued.

Living with your diagnosis

Even though you have received a life-changing diagnosis, there is much to be said for maintaining a good quality of life.

Treatment

Science is currently working towards better treatments for the different types of dementia, but at the present time prevention or a cure remains elusive.
