Around the world, there is an alarming growth of Alzheimer's disease, there is a false belief that Alzheimer's disease is one of the symptoms of old age, although the symptoms are usually in people older than 65 years, it also attacks people younger than that age, and it's called Alzheimer's at a young age.

Symptoms appear with a little forgotten, "where I leave the keys?" Small lapses of concentration, forget the time and what happened yesterday, we believe it was last week, that perhaps go unnoticed by the family. Of the most common signs of Alzheimer's disease, especially in the early stages, is forgetting the newly acquired information.

Then in the intermediate stage, it is the longest, we start to get angry, forgetting the things we keep, if we go to a meeting and they greet us by not remembering the person we are worried about, as the disease progresses, the symptoms are more notable as: not to bathe, we need help to get dressed.

The most difficult stage, is when mood swings, aggression, we forget the days we live, and here there is a great danger, because they give us to walk the streets, and not to find the address of our home. At this stage, family support is essential because it is like going back to childhood, and you must start caring for them when they are children.

In my particular case, my grandfather was a child again, he did not like to bathe, and many times he did not even recognize us, and he cried because he wanted to go to the park with his dad, sometimes he told me "your grandmother went to the patio with boyfriend". Most of the time he did not recognize me and he had to run out of his house, thank God, all of us as a family, we helped him until his last moment and we did not enter him in any sanatorium.

People who care for an Alzheimer's patient need all the support they can get. If you know someone who takes care of a loved one with Alzheimer's disease, here we tell you how to help him. If you want to support a friend who takes care of a loved one, make a concrete offer such as: I can stay with him for a while so you can do your errands.

Therefore, if you have a family member with some of these symptoms, seek family and professional help, as emotional exhaustion is very strong. Above all, he asks God for help, so that he can force us to get ahead with this disease. The most important thing is not to lose patience and ask for help from the family if we all manage to take care of the sick person, we do not have to admit it in a sanatorium.
