Be "confused" at a young age?This disease is not a patent for the elderly

At a young age, he suffers from "Alzheimer's disease", true or false? That's right, such as the film and television work "Astroma in the Mind" and "Love in Love" describing the plot of young people suffering from Alzheimer's disease, not fiction. This disease has never been the "patent" of the elderly, and its performance among young people is not necessarily as simple as throwing Sangu and Four, and it is often easier to be ignored. Today, the doctor will introduce the initial identification and response methods of the "Youth Alzheimer's Dislica".

Average 51 years old

Mortality is as high as 24.2%

Young Alzheimer's disease is not an independent disease, but a titles that divide Alzheimer's disease when the age of onset is divided. Alzheimer's disease is divided into premature Alzheimer's disease (also known as youth Alzheimer's disease) and late Alzheimer's disease. Early Early Alzheimer's disease refers to Alzheimer in adults aged 18 to 64 (older than 35 years old is called ultra -early Alzheimer's disease).

Young Alzheimer's disease accounts for 4%-6%of Alzheimer's disease. In the TV series and movies, the heroine sets the disease in her thirties. In fact, the onset of this age is relatively rare. More youth cognitive diseases often occur between the age of 45 and the age of 65. Essence Its annual incidence in the UK is 6.3/100,000, and about 13%of youth Alzheimer's disease is family genetic factors. Non-family youth Alzheimer's disease is usually in the age of 30-40.

When youth -type Alzheimer's disease occurs, he and his spouse are often at the peak of his career. The onset will not only affect the work, but also cause economic difficulties. According to the death report from the United States from 1999 to 2010, the mortality rate of young Alzheimer's disease in 40-64 years old was as high as 24.2%, which brought a major burden on society.

Attention and execution loss

Or a signal

Compared with Alzheimer's disease, young people are not easily found when they are suffering from this illness. Because many people think that Alzheimer's disease is the symptom of the elderly, they will not suspect that they are Alzheimer's disease at all, so it is easy to delay the diagnosis.

The signal of youthful Alzheimer's disease is very important. It is not necessary to lose three or four. These young patients often have better memory recognition and semantic memory, but their attention, execution function, orientation, and visual space functions are often worse.

If a capable person suddenly cannot complete the work in order, or it takes a long time to complete; for example Caring for their favorite preferences or television, news, etc. These things that make people feel surprised and disobedient may be the signal of young Alzheimer's disease.

Error anxiety and depression

Six symptoms prompt "confused"

Patients of young Alzheimer's disease are often considered depression or anxiety. This is because the symptoms of the disease are in addition to the core symptoms such as forgetfulness, but also mental behavior abnormalities.

Memory reduction patients often have a loss of memory, with near -memory loss, and the performance of "forgetfulness" such as what has happened recently, forgotten important agreements and commitments, etc. Because I don't remember what I planned at all, even if the people around me reminded, I couldn't remember it.

Time, space, and character's orientation capabilities have obstacles in the directional ability of time, space, and characters. I don't know where I am today, where I am, and I can't call the name of an old acquaintance. For example, you cannot fill in the date of file and data, and you can't find the way home when you walk out. These are typical examples.

The decline in understanding and judgment cannot understand what is around, and some daily life ability will also decrease. For example, you do n’t know how to do housework, how to wear clothes, and simply calculate when you ca n’t buy food.

In addition, dangerous operations such as cross -line and sudden ways may occur when driving.

Performing dysfunction I cannot formulate plans and cannot be executed in the predicted order. Therefore, the same meals may be made every day, and the same product is always bought when shopping.

At the same time, I don't know how to use electrical products, tools, etc.

Parents or hallucinations often have hallucinations and delusions. Among them, "stolen delusional" is the most common. When it shows that you can't find your important items, you will think that you have been stolen.

Anxiety and depression often have anxiety and depression. In the face of their own loss of memory and frequent forgetfulness, they will feel very disturbed, irritable, or emotional and depressed. Because patients often have sad expressions, poor mental state, loss of appetite, and insomnia, young Alzheimer's disease is often misdiagnosed in the early stage as depression.

Avoid the risk of cerebrovascular disease

Help to prevent dementia

Early discovery and early treatment may delay the development of symptoms and improve the quality of life. Therefore, patients should go to a hospital for diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer's disease in time as soon as possible. If you have patients aged 18 to 64, you should recommend him to visit in time.

It is worth noting that Alzheimer's disease can be prevented. In general, the risk factors of cerebrovascular disease are mostly the risk factors of Alzheimer's disease. Controlling these factors can reduce the incidence and prevalence of Alzheimer's disease.

In addition, there are reports that sufficient sleep, reasonable diet, exercise, good mood, mental activity, and interaction between relatives and friends will help prevent the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease.(Qin Qi Liang Junhua, Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University) Source: People's Daily Health
