Our brain has a complex structure but it is the foundation for our well- being. Mental disorders in human beings are increasing at a tremendous rate while some being age-independent like anxiety addiction some majorly occur at old age like Alzheimer’s Disease and Parkinson’s Disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a form of Dementia. It occurs due to an increase in the amyloid proteins resulting in the formation of plaques and tau tangles on the brain. Initially the person having this disease seems to have memory loss and difficulty in remembering things. But if the condition gets worse it can lead to difficulty in swallowing talking and walking. No cure has been found for this disease till now but a lot of research has been conducted giving us a ray of hope in nearing its cure. The Alzheimer’s Research Foundation is a 501c 3 non-profit Alzheimer’s charity dedicated to Alzheimer’s treatment. One such organization is LifeInSight BioTherapeutics which aims to get one step closer to the treatment of mental health issues. With the fund raised by this organization they want to find new methods for the treatment and cure of such diseases. Alzheimer’s disease The worst part of some of the disorders is that they do not have a proper cure up till now. For example Alzheimer’s treatment or Parkinson’s treatment has been found only for its symptoms but no complete cure of the disease has still been discovered. This is seen majorly in older people usually 65 and older. This disease progresses over time increasing the loss of memory. Because of the worsening of the symptoms the life expectancy after the diagnosis ranges between 4 to 8 years on average. However certain early-stage symptoms of this illness can be seen in patients such as ● Memorizing new information can be a difficult task for them. ● The thinking process gets slowed down. ● Mood and behavior changes can be observed.In later stages due to the worsening of the condition severe symptoms can occur. ● They might have confusion about events places and time. ● They can even get suspicious about their friends family and professional caregivers. ● There is a risk that they might find difficulty in swallowing speaking and walking. w w w . l i f e i n s i g h t . c o m
