8 Myths of Alzheimer’s Disease – Part 1

8 Myths of Alzheimer’s Disease – Part 1

This is the first of an eight part series on common myths of Alzheimer’s Disease.   These myths were originally provided by the Alzheimer’s Association.  Senior Solutions has memory care services available at three of our locations and we are committed to being an active part of the Alzheimer’s community.  We look forward to your feedback on this series.

 

Myth
1: Memory loss is a natural part of aging.

Reality:
In the past people believed memory loss was a normal part of aging,
often regarding even Alzheimer’s as natural age-related decline. Experts
now recognize severe memory loss as a symptom of serious illness.

Whether
memory naturally declines to some extent remains an open question. Many
people feel that their memory becomes less sharp as they grow older,
but determining whether there is any scientific basis for this belief
is a research challenge still being addressed.
