Alzheimers vs Dementia

[SAMURAINUTS]

Its weird to think about once you consider alzheimers as organ failure. The fact that this organ specifically IS YOU makes the whole thought terrifying.

Please remember that dementia is NOT a normal part of aging. It's not "just" a decline in memory or attention. It is a symptom of an underlying neurological problem, most often a neurological disease such as Alzheimer's or Lewy Body, but can also be caused by damage from physical trauma such a repeated concussions.

Speech issues
Swallowing issues
Gait issues
Bladder/bowel issues

Dementia affects a lot more than just memory/thinking ability.

I had two relatives die from dementia. It’s a terrible disease. You basically have to watch your loved one rot away in front of you. Towards the end it’s like they’re already gone even though they’re still alive. Terrible and terrifying disease.

Glad u spoke about this. Bruce Willis n Wendy Williams comes to mind.

That’s a real brain… that controlled someone at some point.

It'd be nice to see both brains in compare.

I've lost 2 family members to Huntington's disease, and now my uncle has it and it scares him with each passing year.

Seeing someone’s nervous system die is sad

GREAT - but what can prevent the thinning of that wall? What can help prevent alzheimers?

I always thought dementia was specific with memory! Very interesting

I would love to have him do a lengthy video on causes of tremors that occur when doing something requiring precision, e.g. buttoning buttons or writing a check

very sad disease I would not wish my worst enemy on it.

Can you tell us why they say brain doesn’t feel pain? And if it doesn’t feel pain then why migraines and headaches hurt so much inside the brain.?

[c.galindo]

Nice to know the case of what separates the two

[eugeniasicairos]

I heard about Huntington's from the show House. I've never heard of it prior or since, until now. Scary disease

How do I know whether I'm just stupid and unfocused or have Alzheimer's?
