Alzheimer’s Support

What is Alzheimer’s disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disease, which means it affects the brain and worsens over time. It is the most common form of dementia, a condition that impairs a person’s ability to think, reason, and perform daily activities.

According to Alzheimer Portugal Association, it is estimated that there are between 67,000 and 90,000 people with the disease in the country, representing about 5% of the population over 65 years old who suffer from dementia.

Symptoms:

  • Memory loss, especially short-term.
  • Difficulty remembering recent events.
  • Difficulty in making decisions.
  • Language challenges, such as difficulty finding the right words.
  • Disorientation in time and space.
  • Mood and behavior changes.
  • Loss of motivation and initiative.
  • Difficulty performing familiar tasks.

Alzheimer’s risk factors:

  • The risk of Alzheimer’s increases with age. Most people with Alzheimer’s are 65 years or older.
  • Having a close relative with Alzheimer’s increases the risk of developing the disease.
  • Certain genes increase the risk of Alzheimer’s.

Alzheimer’s treatment:

There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but there are treatments that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life. These treatments include:
  • Medications to improve memory and cognitive function.
  • Therapy to help cope with the challenges of the disease, such as mood and behavior changes.
  • Lifestyle modifications, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep.
