People are not aware of the dangers of memory loss in the elderly, and many elderly people lose their memory unknowingly. Because the onset of dementia is long and the early symptoms are not obvious, it is particularly easy to overlook. When the symptoms of dementia are obvious, the best time for early diagnosis and treatment is often missed. Domestic surveys have shown that there is an extreme lack of awareness of dementia among the masses in China. In the survey of families with elderly people with dementia, 50% of the families do not know that the elderly people have dementia, and they think that the phenomenon of “old confusion” is normal, so they do not need to see a doctor and take medicine, only 2% of the families have carried out the correct treatment for the elderly, and most of the elderly people with dementia in other families are taking nutritional medicine. It is this lack of attention and understanding that has caused so many families to suffer. When should I see a “memory clinic”? The first two cases: Li Ma can cook well, but in the last six months or so, the children have found that Li Ma often lose things, less talk, can not do the original cooking now, often sitting in the kitchen dazed. Once, she even put meat and rice together and cooked a big pot of porridge, asked her why, she said she didn’t know why she did it. There was also a grandfather Sun, who was always very popular in the neighborhood. But lately, Master Sun has become more and more incomprehensible. Once Grandpa Sun went to the kiosk to buy a drink, which was supposed to cost 6 yuan, but the old man thought the price was unreasonable and had to give 3 yuan, and quarreled with the stall owner. After the diagnosis, both Li Da Ma and Sun Da Da Da are suffering from Alzheimer’s disease. So, how to find out the elderly have memory loss? The following symptoms indicate that the elderly are losing their memory: they often lose things, forget important things that have an impact on their lives, and frequently; they used to speak fluently, but now they often forget words, can’t describe things, and can’t name items; they can’t use appliances that they used to use, such as the remote control for washing machines, microwave ovens, and televisions; they ask the same questions over and over again They ask the same questions over and over again; they repeat the same things and say the same words over and over again; they don’t know how to do the things they used to do or they don’t do them well, such as forgetting how to cook food, not remembering how to repair things, not knowing how to play chess and cards, etc.; they don’t know how to go to the bank to get their pensions, not knowing how to manage money and calculate accounts; they always misplace things; they wear clothes out of season; they are not hygienic and don’t take the initiative to take a bath and change clothes, etc. Older people with memory loss, especially those with dementia in their family, should go to the Memory Disorders Clinic for a detailed examination. Don’t discriminate against Alzheimer’s patients The cause of Alzheimer’s disease is still unknown, but it is worth noting that older people who are depressed, live alone or are widowed are more likely to have Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, low education level, female, and advanced age are also risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease. This suggests that more care must be given to the elderly to help them salvage their memories. In order to prevent Alzheimer’s, the elderly should actively participate in social activities and receive more new information from the outside world. Secondly, family members can arrange for the elderly to do some complex and delicate handicrafts often to keep their brain thinking agile. They can also do some chores that they can do, such as sweeping the floor, choosing vegetables, etc. Keeping a diary, reading, writing, painting, playing musical instruments, etc. can also help prevent dementia. Third, avoid bad habits such as excessive drinking and smoking. It is important to understand more about Alzheimer’s patients and their families, and not to look at these elderly people in a discriminatory way, but should use love from the heart to keep them away from society and people.
