bipolar genetic risk
Introduction
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. Over 60% of dementia cases are due to this. Its prevalence is related to age is as high as 47% in people above 85 years.
Definition: It is a degenerative disorder of the cerebral cortex resulting in dementia progressive senile.
Causes
The people in whom the disease onset before 65 years of age, genetic factors are considered as an important cause.
The main cause of this functional weakness is the irreversible death of brain cells due to the deposition of plaques protein.
Environmental agents like viruses are also considered as a cause, but enough evidence has been found in this regard.
Risk factors
 • Advanced age is a risk factor, however, all older people do not always show these characteristics.
 • Having a family history of the disease.
 • The toxicity of alcohol, a previous head injury and some immunological factors may also increase the risk of developing the disease.
Diagnostic screening
The disease has an insidious onset and progresses very little little. It basically affects the emotion, intellect and memory of the person. It is developed through 3 stages:
Stage 1
 • The memory of the person affected in the initial stages. First, the impaired memory of recent events we can tell that is then followed by the deterioration of the long-term memory as well.
 • Patients complain of difficulty in the initial stages.
 • The person has also disorientation of time and place, it incorrectly identifies the things and people.
 • Repeat the words again and again.
Stage 2
 • In this case, the patient denies that something is wrong with him says he's fine.
 • Gradually, the person shows a deterioration of their intellectual functions and certain changes occur in personality. They can also develop problems with speech language.
 • It is more later may develop aphasia syndrome (lack of right word at the right time requires the patient to compensate by talking around the issue-Ã-à paraphasia poor vocabulary also that the patient can not express their feelings, due to fragmentation of sentences words to the results of silence.)
 • apraxia Construction (inability to get two or three dimensional figures.) continues.
 • The person has difficulty moving his had someone to greet someone or even to use a pen to write.
 • develops Visual agnosia (inability to understand what you see). Because of these functional deficits, the person develops some psychiatric disorders as depression, aggression, anxiety, delusions, insomnia, etc.
Stage 3
 • Finally, the person reaches a stage where they must rely on others for daily activities.
 • The person may develop apraxia personal care such as dressing, shaving, bathing, combing hair.
 • visual agnosia followed by auditory, tactile agnosia.
 • At these stages advanced, including the muscles affected. The patient walks in a shuffling manner with short steps. Stiffness of all muscles leads to the slowness and clumsiness of all movements. The whole course of the disease is 5-8 years or so. During the course of the disease, any coexistent disease worsens in a patient's condition acute.
Diagnosis:
This is done primarily by excluding other causes of cognitive impairment.
Progressive worsening memory and at least two areas of cognitive impairment.
Home of 40 years 90 years of age (in most cases, after 65 years), the person must be in a normal arousal state, ie it should not be drowsy or in coma or delirium.
The diagnosis is based on the order of appearance symptoms can be supported by imaging techniques such as MRI, CT scan, showing enlargement of the ventricular space, together with brain atrophy. But this is not confirmation of Alzheimer's disease as such changes are also seen in most other people in this age group.
Homeopathic treatment:
Homeopathic medicines can not offer a cure to patients, but will help in the recovery of memory loss patient.
Our medicines will also help to alter the rate of disease progression. Also, psychiatric disorders the patient develops in the course of the disease, such as anxiety, depression, delusions, sleep disorders, etc. can also be relieved by medications safely homeopathic.
If the patient is brought to us in the early stages, we have a lot to help alleviate the patient's symptoms without side effects.
The structuring of the environment: This means providing a safe, non-stimulating environment for the patient that gives you the comfort of consistency.
Patient care
 • In phase 1 patients, reality orientation is very useful.
 • In stage 2 patients, the reality orientation is not possible, therefore, validation therapy is the best option. Here, must assess the patient's support feelings thoughts.
 • The patient should be encouraged to make personal care, performance of their other activities. Your mental and emotional states, other functions vital signs the body should be evaluated for any decline.
 • You must take into account the patient's abilities to our expectations should not exceed its capacity to perform any task.
 • Talk to the patient calmly allow sufficient time to respond as it is understood that the thought process of the patient has slowed. They should also be referred to appropriate support groups, counseling groups, etc.
