Memory disorders and decreased concentration in young people during intense mental activity may be the first signs of Alzheimer's disease. A neurologist told about how this ailment has changed.

Alzheimer's disease is a common type of dementia in which the brain stops functioning properly. This disease is accompanied by problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Doctors say that this disease has started to get younger in recent years. Increasingly, doctors are diagnosing it in representatives of the younger generation.

Scientists have not been able to determine the nature of this disease, and the cause of its occurrence is causing serious controversy in scientific circles. As the doctor said, memory problems, if they arise as a result of diseases of the thyroid gland, are considered reversible when taking certain medications.

It is also possible to restore health if complications arose due to stress, lack of sleep or lack of vitamins. In the case of Alzheimer's disease, doctors do not expect positive dynamics. Available treatment methods can slow down the course of the disease or stop its development in the future, but do not reverse the disease. At the same time, the most frightening thing is that the disease is noticeably younger.

If earlier it was believed that people over the age of 65 suffer from the disease, now it often occurs in younger people. At the earliest stages, they have memory problems and difficulty concentrating. The most dangerous is retrograde amnesia, in which the patient remembers the events of his youth, but absolutely cannot remember what he ate for breakfast.

In the first stages of the disease, it is manifested by difficulties in performing multitasking work. A person simply cannot cope with some tasks. If this happens, you should consult a neurologist. He will conduct an accurate diagnosis and determine the cause of the problem.
