Why is it necessary to treat dementia and Alzheimer’s disease?

We believe that everyone should know the early symptoms of dementia. Very often, doctors are asked why it is necessary to treat dementia (Alzheimer’s disease) “if it is not curable?”

You are right, dementia cannot be completely and permanently cured. But:

✅ IT IS POSSIBLE to pause at the stage at which the patient visited the doctor
✅ IT IS POSSIBLE to increase the duration of time when the patient is ACTIVE and INDEPENDENT from others
✅ IT IS POSSIBLE to maintain your usual lifestyle for many more years
✅ IT IS POSSIBLE to simplify patient care and improve the quality of life for caregiving relatives

How to achieve this?

✅ Timely detection and diagnosis of dementia
✅ START individual therapy ON TIME (as early as possible)

16 December 2022, an event took place at Polyclinic No. 52 “Memory Academy for the Elderly “. As part of it, we conducted a free examination for people “Silver Age “, discussed the first signs of dementia and age-related memory decline, identified the differences between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, found out how and why patients need to be treated, and how to reduce the risk of developing dementia in oneself

We remind you that the V.S. Buzaev International Medical Centre has a fully operational geriatric memory center (cognitive disorders) – you can get a consultation with a neurologist-dementologist and gerontopsychiatrist, determine the cause of cognitive decline using MRI with a special neurodegenerative protocol, and develop an individual cognitive rehabilitation program with a neuropsychologist.

In collaboration with the project MEMINI.RU  we urge: if you notice the first signs of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease in your loved one – do not delay visiting a doctor! Time is against you!
