Question by Brian: How do I know if my dad has Alzheimer’s disease or just a bad memory?
Lately, my dad has been acting very strangely. His memory is leaving him and I’m worried because some would say that’s the first sign of Alzheimer’s. Although, he says he’s ALWAYS had a bad memory.

How do I know if he has Alzheimer’s disease or just a bad memory?

If it matters, he will be turning 66 in May.

Answer by heyimjason
There’s no way you’ll know for sure if you don’t have him go in for testing.
I’d suggest getting on this soon, as there are medications that can at least slow down the progression of dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Does it work? Which symptoms does it reduce from worsening? How long has your loved one been living with it?

I think my loved one may have this disease. We took her to the doctor today and it was clear, she was having problems with memory. An MRI will be done next week.

cityancolour asked:

I know synapses help with your memory, they keep you more alert, they can prevent alzheimers, but what else are they good for?
And what exactly are they? In a short easy definition.

Deenie asked:

…especially since spirits don’t have bodies & therefore no brains. Or..could it be that when they get alzheimers ..their spirit leaves their body?
snakefield..If there aren’t any spirits..then what are all these things millions of people have seen and heard for hundreds of years or more?
