Many doctor's point to environmental and genetic factors as probable
causes for Alzheimer's Disease
"People think it's a terrible tragedy when somebody has Alzheimer's.
But in my mother's case, it's different. My mother has been unhappy
all her life. For the first time in her life, she's happy." These
thoughtsof noted American writer Amy Tan, whose mother was diagnosed
of Alzheimer's, aptly underlines the need to have a positive
attitudeto the disease.
On the occasion of World Alzheimer's Day on Friday, neurologists
maintain that living a fun-filled and fulfilling life with friends and
family and avoiding stress in midlife are thebest bets to prevent
Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The exact reasons for Alzheimer's are yet to
be fully understood and many doctor's point to environmentaland
genetic factors as the probable causes forit.
"Alzheimer's directly impacts the brain tissues, causing dementia or
memory loss. Sometimes, such persons are unable to judge, function and
behave normally. The ailment can be managed if care givers and
patients follow guidelines of neurologists properly," says HOD,
Neurology, Yashoda Hospitals, Jaydeep Ray Choudhary.
Public often tend to mix up dementia with AD. Physicians point outthat
dementia or memory loss can be due to many reasons and Alzheimer's
happens to be one of the reasons that causes dementia.
"In a decade, AD will become a leading ailment that will put a high
burden on the family and the society. Treatment and rehabilitation is
a complex process and guidance is necessary. Medicines are availableto
delay the progression of AD and not to cure it," Dr. Choudhary points
out.
Precautions
Some of the precautionary measures for the ailment include avoiding or
controlling risk factors like hypertension, diabetes,stroke and high
stress in midlife. "AD is very common among persons who are above40
years of age.
So, it is always better that middle aged persons avoid stressful
lifestyle and make sure that they keep their mental and physical
faculties alert by takingup regular activities," HOD, Neurology,
Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), A. K. Meena said.
AD is characterised by memory loss and patients progressively become
dependant on others for day to day activities like using toilets,
bathing, eating,dressing among other things.

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
