PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

This form of dementia is due to a degenerative process of unknown origin with a large loss of cells from the cerebral cortex and other brain areas. The most prominent early symptom is memory loss. Later the brain shows marked atrophy with wide suici and dilated ventricles. Alzheimer's usually begins in the fifth and sixth decades.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:

A slow disintegration of personality, more obvious to the beholder than to the patient are the earliest changes taking place in this condition. Cognitive difficulties as well as depression, anxiety, paranoia, or any of several other psychological symptoms, may develop early. Since the physiology of the brain is interfered with involving the brain stem, cortex and limbic systems, and perhaps the white matter of the cerebral hemispheres, the pathologic changes take place at different times and rates with different patients, thus early symptoms vary widely from patient to patient.

TREATMENT:

A knowledge of the mental level of the patient before treatment in order to compare and evaluate the progress of the disease is important to understanding the degree of decline in the patient's mental state, and thus planning the course of treatment needed. Compassionate attention to details in helping the patient to remain oriented to surroundings and people is of the utmost importance. If attention to good nutrition in the very early stages of the disease is strongly given, it is possible to slow or stop further inroads of the disease. This is an area of very needed research.
