I do n’t know if I go out. His temperament, sensitive and suspicious, irritable, suspected that her daughter -in -law had stolen her money, and always suspected that her husband and daughter -in -law were dyed, and they fought about it. Believe that someone at home is going to harm him. The family was difficult to take care of, so she took her to the Psychiatric Hospital of Heshan District, Yiyang City for help.

Chen Jing, Director of Elderly Psychiatry, Psychiatric Hospital of Heshan District, Yiyang City, introduced: Patients in my department abound, their memory seems to be wiped out by rubber. It turned out that they suffered from Alzheimer's disease. Commonly known as "Alzheimer's disease".

What is Alzheimer's disease?

This is a common neurological degeneration disease. It mainly occurs in the early stage of the elderly and the elderly. It manifests as a comprehensive intelligent decline of hidden diseases, aggravating, and irreversible. At the same time, with obvious personality changes, some of them are accompanied by obvious psychiatric symptoms. The course of disease is usually 8-10 years. As the population aging intensifies, every three seconds, a new Alzheimer's patient is added in the world.

If people get older, the response is slow, and the memory is not good, is it Alzheimer's? Or normal aging and forgetfulness? How can they distinguish between the two?

Director Chen Jing introduced: In fact, even when many elderly people are at the age, they can still maintain good memory ability, normal social functions, and stable personality.

In China, the diagnosis time of Alzheimer's disease is generally 3-4 years later than developed countries. It is precise The best time for treatment. So how to distinguish between the two? As shown in Figure 1 below, you can know one or two:

If you fail to identify early, what are the consequences?

At present, the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease in my country is facing low awareness rate, low consultation rate, low treatment rate, and serious harm to the physical and mental health and quality of life of the elderly. Infection and other complications eventually lead to death. Bringing pain and heavy burden on patients and society.

How to improve everyone's understanding of Alzheimer's disease?

"If you suspect that you or your family has three of the following nine major dangerous signals, you should go to the hospital for examination in time. Early diagnosis and early treatment are the only way to delay the progress of the disease.

1. Memory is becoming increasingly decreased, and soon forgets what happens, and forget to turn off the gas after cooking.

2. It becomes difficult to complete the original things. If you don't know the order of dressing, the order of cooking.

3. Chaos of the time, place and characters at the time, place and character.

4. Language expression is wrong, and it is difficult to speak and write difficulties.

5. Do not love social and have no interest in previous hobbies.

6. Personality or behavior changes, emotional expression is unstable, and moody is impermanent; personality becomes suspicious. Indifferent, anxious or rude to the family.

7. Lost the initiative of doing things, such as disappearing time all day long, is not interested in previous hobbies.

8. Put things in an inappropriate place, such as put the socks in the refrigerator.

9. The judgment is increasingly decreased, such as: in summer, wearing cotton clothes and thin clothes in winter.

"For Alzheimer's disease, there is no way to cure, so what can we do?"

Director Chen Jing suggested: In fact, many patients have been at least in the middle of the period. If the patient can accept early diagnosis, you can intervene in the early stage based on the cause, take appropriate drugs, and good psychological care, which can delay the development of the disease. It can also reduce the burden of family members.
