Scientists have found the cause of Alzheimer's disease

Dementia can progress in situations of increased stress.

< p>For a long time, the scientific world has been studying the causes of Alzheimer's disease. The most diverse assumptions are made, but they did not come close to understanding what causes dementia. This did not make it possible to correctly and timely prescribe treatment, stopping the manifestations of the disease at an early stage.

Australian scientists from Curtin University's Institute of Medical Innovation made an unexpected conclusion. They linked the onset of Alzheimer's disease with long-term stress.

In their conclusions, the researchers claim that it is stress that keeps the human neuroendocrine system in constant tension. It regulates digestion, immunity, mood and energy.

And it is also responsible for the production of the hormone cortisol, which is the body's response to stressful situations. However, with constant increased stress, the system malfunctions and cortisol begins to be produced in much greater quantities than is necessary.

And then the body begins to block it in other ways, which lead to the development of dementia.

Essentially, the brain simply begins to erase from memory memories that can cause painful sensations.
