At this week ‘s Rotary Club of Highlands meeting, the club was honored to have Denise Young as our speaker. Denise is the Program Manager at Alzheimer’s Association- Western Carolina Chapter.
Denise explained that while there are multiple forms of dementia, Alzheimer’s is its’ most common cause. Alzheimer’s is a progressive brain disease that can destroy memory and other mental functions. There are many warning signs that can alert family and friends of the possibility that a person may have Alzheimer’s, and that one should seek medical help when certain symptoms appear. And while there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, early diagnosis and new drug treatments can slow the progression.
A lot of information is available at alz.org including lifestyle and dietary suggestions to slow progression of Alzheimer’s. A 24/7 Helpline is available for more information 365 days a year.
