Alzheimer’s Hits 50-Somethings; Doctors Sound Alarm

Haydarabad: Alzheimer’s disease is currently diagnosed with people over 60 years of age, and calls for emergency public health messaging and wider screening of neurologists. According to the TaLangana Neurology Association, India is currently an estimated 3.7 million Alzheimer’s patients – a national prevalence of 4.3 percent among people over the age of 65 – and the figures climb.

Dr. Shyam K. Jaiswal said that shifting towards young patients was “deep worrying”. “We see cases related to long -standing depression and social isolation in men and women before 50,” he said to journalists. “Although the attempts in Monoclonal Antibodies in the Harvard Medical School are promising, there is still no healing medicine. For now, we can only slow down progress with medicine and lifestyle changes.”

Jaiswal’s clinic executes screens for memory assessments, MRI and pet scans and thyroid and-B12 vitamin deficiencies before confirming a diagnosis. To encourage new neural paths, “neurobics” recommend simple activities that break daily routine, such as brushing the teeth of one of them. “The eighty percent of the daily life is repetitive. The brain throws atrophy. Small, deliberate changes force him to grow,” he said.

Families with the burden of the disease define constant alertness. Ashwin Sangram from Sinikpuri gives importance to a dementia uncle who slowly progresses. “He forgets where he lives and wandered, Sang Santram said. “We watch it 24 × 7. The drug helps, but we are afraid that it turns into Alzheimer’s.”

In order to expand the public understanding, Sandhya, a game that will visit the city -centered theater collective, is a game that will visit schools, market places and even truck parking areas. Director Sn Ahmed said he aims to challenge the common belief that the production of the production is “only natural”. Ahmed said, “Early symptoms are ignored, so patients silently suffer and families are unprepared. Rangmanch actors will also distribute brochures on mental health services and caregiver support.

Neurologists emphasize that the prevention is still dependent on changing factors: regular exercise, good sleep, social participation and blood pressure control. “Alzheimer cannot be improved yet, Dr Dr Jaiswal said,“ But we can maintain the quality of life for a long time with awareness and early intervention. ”
