Not many people are aware of this disease, and nobody would wish it for their loved ones. Alzheimer's causes permanent deterioration that you just have to live with it. Here are what Alzheimer patients and their families go through.
15 Things Alzheimer's Does To Patients And Their Loved Ones
1. During the first stage of this neurological disease, patients have difficulty in finding the right words or finding their way in unfamiliar places. It is sad to forget things one by one.
The patients can't register new information in their short term memory, and don't accept the disease, so the frustration causes anger. The people around them can't understand what's going on if they don't have experience or knowledge of Alzheimer's.
