Dementia: Why forget everything?

                                

Shakib is well known as a meritorious student of the class. But for the last few months, he could not remember anything. Despite all the testing, he could not write anything when he was tested. He slowly forgot the names of his friends. The situation is even more horrific when he noticed that he could not even remember his phone number!

 

Thus, the problem of forgetting everything slowly is called "dementia".

 

Let's go to the extent without knowing about dementia.

 

What is this dementia?

 

Dementia is a disturbing condition in the brain that can not remember the affected person, the thought disappears, and gradually the problem continues to grow. It affects the elderly, but it does not mean that dementia - it is not. The number of brain cells (neurons) decreases with age at a fixed rate. If physical disorders with age cause damage to the brain, it is called 'dementia' in the language of medicine.

 

Who suffer in dementia?

 

Usually people aged 65 or over are more likely to be infected with dementia. However, it is not the risk that young people are free from risk. It can be at any age. Even if there is a dementia of the father or mother, the child may have dementia at a young age.

 

Earlier dementia was called 'old age dementia' or 'sentiment'. In the late 19th century, dementia was seen as a large clinical conception that included mental illness, psychosocial disorders, or syphilis-like diseases. In the twentieth century, the study showed that the probability of this disease increases with age, but there is no specific information that starts from the beginning of the age. So the only reason for old age is that it can not be said explicitly.

 

The research information presented by Experts of the National Institute of Neuroscience, Singapore, is quite alarming. The information is that the rate of young dementia diseases is increasing. According to this specialized organization, the rate of this disease increased by 4x in the last 4 years among the young people.

 

Why is this dementia?

 

The main causes of dementia are-

•   - AIDS
• 
  
•     -Hypro-thyroidism
• 
  
•     - Lack of Vitamin B-12

However, the main cause of dementia is called brain damage.

 

Symptoms of dementia:

 

The primary prevalence of dementia is very slow, even after months or years. As a result, the patient does not understand that he is suffering from dementia.

 

According to the type of dementia, its symptoms may vary. But the symptoms that are commonly seen are:

 

• - Retention of memory: The most common symptom of dementia in reducing memory loss, especially losing short-term memory.

• - Not finding the right words when talking: A dementia patient can not even remember the general word or instead it is difficult to understand or write things that are easy to understand or write.

It is very difficult to point out the subject of change in the subject matter. He may be skeptical, irritable, depressed, indifferent, anxious, or shocked. Especially in situations where memory syndrome makes its disadvantages.

• - Not being able to pay attention: People with dementia can not concentrate on studies or their own work. It does not have any focus on anything.

• Depression: Most people with dementia suffer from depression, so the memory loss decreases.

• - Sleep problem: The person with dementia can not sleep regularly. The night after night is awake. It is also considered as an inmagnanum patient.

 

Dementia type:

 

There are several types of dementia. For example,

 

Alzheimer's disease - dementia is considered as an alzheimer's. It is seen in approximately 60-80 percent of the cases. At the beginning of the disease, the infected person can not remember the name, can not remember recent incidents, forget to speak. Gradually there are more problems, such as problems in thinking, confusion, discrepancy in behavior, what to say when speaking, not understanding, rubbing etc. Basically, the main cause of brain nervous system loss and nervous system death.

 

Huntington's disease - due to an error in chromosomes add up to 4, brain disorders were gradually being formed. The person who is affected by this disease has seen uncontrolled movements, anxiety disorder, depression and mood swings. Over time the problems continued to grow.

Vascular Dementia - Preliminary symptoms of this disease, such as decreasing logic and judgment, can not be adjusted to accomplish a task. This problem arises due to bleeding or injury in the brain. This type of dementia can lead to mixed dementia in many cases causing other dementia.

 

Lewy Body Dementia - symptoms of memory loss, problems in thinking, sleep problems, slowing down, decrease in muscle mobility, etc. When there is an abnormal increase in protein-alpha-cyanocline in brain cortex, there is dementia.

 

Dementia Treatment:

 

The danger of the disease is that, as the age progresses people will forget - it is taken for granted. As a result, most people are not aware of dementia disease. In most cases there is no treatment for this disease till date. But most patients came in the last phase. There is nothing else to do.

 

However, it is possible to ample the symptoms of the disease by taking medicines at the initial stage. Now many such disorders have been discovered, which can be prevented by severe dementia. But it is very important to abstain from smoking and to live a healthy life.

 

The role of family members is most useful for the patient suffering from this disease. Because at one point, patients forget to eat, sleep or take physical care. Then there is a need for help and cooperation of others. They have to be cared for just like kids.

 

Dementia statistics:

 

The issue of Damascus is present throughout the world. One in every three seconds of the world, people are getting infected in the city of Damascus. The number of such patients in the whole world till 2013 is 4.8 million. It is estimated that in the 2030 this number will stand 7.7 million. And in 2050 its number will exceed 13 million more than 50 million.

 

Currently, 62 percent of the world's total dementia patients live in lower and mid-income countries. And the number of 2050s is expected to rise to 68 percent due to which the main reason is that the people of these countries get very old. 20th Sep 'World Dementia Awareness Day' This awareness day was organized to raise awareness about dementia.

 

Dementia prevention:

 

1. Be free from anxiety: Try to keep yourself free from anxiety. Anxiety weakens the memory of people.

 

2. Get help from someone else: You can keep someone close to you for reminding me of important work in advance. If you forget about it, there will be no problem in the work.

 

3. Listen carefully: try to be attentive when listening to something. Attentive people do not make mistakes easily.

 

4. Use smart phone: Nowadays, almost everyone is dependent on different devices. Keep alarms on different days, festivals, parties, occasions or emergency information on mobile or computer. The alarms will ring at certain times of the specified day. So the level of forgetting will decrease. Apart from this, you can learn a lot about Facebook through the most popular websites now, if you have 'Going' or 'Interested' on different events, then you will get notifications on your mobile.

 

5. Change dietary: Dietary changes are needed to prevent dementia at the beginning. Blood pressure, cholesterol and sugar levels should be kept under control.

 

6. Exercise regularly: Every day physical exercises help to keep brain cells fresh. So exercise 30 minutes a day.

 

Finally, although there is no drug inhibition of dementia, but scientists are continuously researching how to reduce the risk and prevent it. So be aware of the time right now. The only concern is to reduce dementia risk factors. The person with dementia is not crazy, while on time treatment and care can cure a dementia patient.
