Dementia that can be treated
Dementia has several overlapping sets of symptoms, diseases, and causes. Similar to our last post, this is not a single disease but a collection of mental health conditions. In many cases, the actual cause isn't even known to scientists. However, some may be identified and perhaps treated with relative ease. Below, we'll review a few elements that may be changed or treated to lessen dementia's impact and symptoms.
Diseases of the immunological system and infections
Causes include infections or fevers that our bodies have trouble fighting off. Or sometimes, your immunological illness was attacking your nervous system. The end effect is mental disease and dementia.
Disorders of metabolism and the endocrine system.
Those who suffer from hypoglycemia, thyroid problem, malnutrition, or a deficiency in several minerals and vitamins, most notably vitamin B 12, can be factors. Dementia has been linked to poor absorption. In cases like these, medication is an option.
Deficiencies in nutrition
Dementia-like symptoms may result from a lack of hydration, thiamin (vitamin B-1), B-6, and B-12 in the diet, prolonged drunkenness, or any of these causes. Dementia symptoms can also be brought on by a lack of copper or vitamin E. Reduced alcohol consumption, increased water intake, and supplementation have all been effective in treating this condition.
Adverse reactions to medication.
The severe adverse effects of sleeping pills and antidepressants on mental health are only two examples of adverse drug reactions that can occur when using prescription drugs. It may be many, but you must discuss it with your doctor.
Subdural hemorrhages.
Common in the elderly after a fall, bleeding between the surface of the brain and the covering over the brain can induce symptoms similar to dementia. It also requires medical treatment and sometimes even surgery.
Tumors affecting the brain.
Dementia is a highly unusual side effect of brain tumor treatment. We use the medication if it's in the early stages. Still, surgery is required if it progresses to the second or third stages.
The condition is called hydrocephalus, normal pressure.
This disorder, brought on by enlarged ventricles in the brain, can cause trouble walking, incontinence, and memory loss.
Factors That Might Cause Harm
Dementia can occur over time. Age, for example, is not something that can be altered. As for the others, you can do something about them to lower your risk.
Indefinable dangers
Age. There is no way to prevent dementia, a natural part of aging. Perhaps this condition can be addressed in the future when more advanced technology is available.
Family history: A look back in time. Some people have an account of dementia in their family yet show no outward signs of the disease. However, the chance of developing dementia is significant for those with a family history of the disease.
Down syndrome: Many persons with Down syndrome also get Alzheimer's before age 65. This, too, is a congenital condition that cannot be treated.
Potentially modifiable risks
The following dementia risk factors may be under your control.
Exercise and eat right.
Dementia is rapidly increasing in prevalence today. Despite its antiquity, this ailment has historically had modern causes, such as heredity, infection, or trauma. On the other hand, when its ratio speeds up, scientists begin investigating the underlying causes. They concluded that it has crucial links to our way of life. Those who don't eat enough fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, etc., and don't get enough exercise are more prone to dementia than those with a healthy lifestyle.
Intense use of alcoholic beverages.
A severely alcoholic person's brain and body will be less active than those of a sober one. Your brain will develop a pattern of inactivity that will eventually cause dementia. Decrease your alcohol consumption if you wish to stop or reverse the dementia symptoms
Causes of heart disease and stroke.
Some examples are being overweight, having high cholesterol, having atherosclerosis (the development of fatty deposits along the arterial walls), and having high blood pressure.
Depression. Late-life depression might be a precursor to dementia, a phenomenon whose causes are poorly understood.
Smoking. Dementia and cardiovascular disorders may both be more likely to strike smokers.
Toxic air quality .Animal research suggests that exposure to particle matter from air pollution might hasten the deterioration of the neurological system. In addition, research on humans has linked exposure to air pollution, especially that caused by vehicles and wood stoves, to an increased risk of dementia.
Injury to the head. A higher incidence of Alzheimer's disease is shown in people who have experienced significant head trauma. According to a meta-analysis of epidemiological research, a higher chance of developing dementia or Alzheimer's disease has been linked to a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI) among adults aged 50 and over. Those with more severe or repeated TBIs are at a higher risk. According to research, the danger may be most elevated in the first six months to two years following a TBI.
Problems falling asleep. Some research suggests that those with sleep disorders like apnea or restless legs syndrome are more likely to acquire dementia.
Shortages of essential nutrients and vitamins. Dementia risk is raised in people who don't get enough vitamin D, B-6, B-12, and folate.
Some medications might make memory worse. Diphenhydramine (Advil PM, Aleve PM) and oxybutynin (used to treat urinary urgency) are two examples of over-the-counter drugs that you should stay away from if you're trying to get some shut-eye (Ditropan XL).
If any medications you take might contribute to your memory loss, try to reduce your use of sedatives and sleeping pills.
Complications
Many bodily systems, and hence functional capacity, can be impacted by dementia. The progression of dementia can cause:
The food eating will be affected, severely affecting their nutritional status. and swallowed food entirely.
Pneumonia. If you have trouble swallowing, you can choke or aspirate food into your lungs, which can obstruct your airway and lead to pneumonia.
Dementia makes daily tasks like getting dressed, brushing hair and teeth, using the restroom on one's own, and following dosing instructions for medications more challenging.
Threats to one's own security. Problems with personal safety might arise in the course of normal daily activities, such as driving, cooking, walking, or living alone, for persons with dementia.
Death. Patients with advanced dementia often go into a coma and die from an infection.
Conclusion: we are trying to discuss dementia briefly, but it is challenging because it is an extensive range of mental illnesses. A wide range of factors, symptoms, side effects, and risk factors also some complications are associated with dementia. Some are curable and reversible, and scientists cannot do anything with some elements. Maybe it will be possible but not now. One thing that can be done is precautions. Only adopting some precautions, an adequate lifestyle, and the proper on-time medication can help us against dementia.
