ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE
The term Alzheimer’s disease refers to a condition first recognized in 1907. In that year Alois Alzheimer reported in the medical textbooks that a woman of 51 had died of ‘dementia’. It wasn’t the ‘dementia’ that caused the interest but the fact that this woman’s brain had been examined under the microscope and it showed changes not seen before. In certain parts the brain fibres were tangled up and there were areas of clumping together of brain matter. As time went by, some more quite young people who had died of ‘dementia’ were found to have brains that showed the same abnormalities. The condition was then called Alzheimer’s disease. At that time it was only described in younger people (before retirement age) and the dementia was called ‘pre-senile dementia’.
It was then noted that the same type of dementia (with the same symptoms) occurred much more frequently in older people. Their brains when examined under the microscope showed the same abnormalities. Because Alzheimer had described his condition in younger people, the elderly were described as having senile dementia of the Alzheimer type or SDAT This tended to make things rather complicated, and as dementia in younger people is quite rare it is becoming increasingly common to call the whole group Alzheimer’s disease.
The two words Alzheimer’s disease can’t convey the complicated set of symptoms that make up the condition, unless you personally know a suffer. A quick description often used is the slow onset of memory loss with a gradual progression to loss of judgment and changes in behaviour and temperament. A more complicated definition has been issued by the Royal College of Physicians:
Dementia is the global impairment of higher functions, including memory, the capacity to solve the problems of day to day living, the performance of learned perceptuo-motor skills, the correct use of social skills and the control of emotional reactions, in the absence of gross clouding of consciousness.
These definitions are only guides to the whole complicated condition called Alzheimer’s disease, so we need to work through some of the more common problem areas. The condition starts very slowly, so much so that close relatives and carers often do not notice that anything is wrong for a long time, then when certain things are pointed out they can often think back and realize that the dementia began a few years previously. It has been calculated that someone needs to lose about 80 per cent of their working brain cells before mild symptoms develop, i.e. problems occur late and the brain must adapt very well for a long time. It is useful to think of the condition having three phases: mild, moderate and severe -a sufferer does not always move on to the worst phase. A sudden deterioration usually means that an acute condition (such as a chest or urine infection) has occurred. A small group of sufferers do seem to have a more rapid and downwards course (like a malignant cancerous disease) and death can occur within a few years. For most however the decline is quite slow, especially if the person is well cared for and any other medical problems are tackled early and effectively. Many people with Alzheimer’s die of something else (heart attack, stroke and even old age).
The most common problems are those of memory loss, disorientation, loss of judgment, changes in personality, difficulty in communicating, loss of practical skills and changes in behaviour. Thus, it can be understood that Alzheimer’s disease is far more than just memory loss (as some of the definitions try to show) -eventually the condition affects all of the parts that make us an individual who relates and responds to other people. Even in the very late stages, however, a sufferer is able to show responses to kindness and gentleness, but early on part of the personality, the person’s individuality, is affected.
