TM
Alzheimer's Disease damages the brain's intellectual functions
(memory, and gradually deteriorates, causing impaired judgment and
other problems that may affect your ability to perform normal daily
activities.
Although Alzheimer's usually begins later in life, generally after age 60, it
can affect much younger individuals, and may be then referred to as
Early Onset Alzheimers.
If you or a loved one suffer from Alzheimers or another type of Dimentia,
and you are younger than 65, you may be eligible for disability benefits
in the form of cash and medical insurance. Waiting to apply for these
benefits can reduce or eliminate the eligibility for such benefits, so it is
not recommended that you 'wait and see' i fyou are already unable to
work a full time job. Please go to the online Alzheimer's Disability
Evaluation form for a social security disability attorney review of what can
be done, benefits-wise, foryou or your loved one.
In Alzheimer's disease, deposits of proteins called amyloid and TAU
distort communication between brain cells. Also, levels of a chemical
called acetylcholine that helps transmit messages between brain cells
begin to drop, causing more communication problems. Eventually, brain
cells themselves are affected. They begin to shrivel and die, causing
certain areas of the brain to shrink. Alzheimer's disease is the most
common cause of dementia, accounting for 50% to 67% of all cases in
people aged 65 and older. Approximately 4 million people in the United
States currently have the disease.
Everyone is born with the potential to develop Alzheimer's disease. Your
lifetime risk of developing the disease is about 10% to 15%. However,
several factors may increase your risk:
Age: The older you get, the greater your chance of developing
Alzheimer's disease.
Family history: If members of your family, especially parents or siblings,
have Alzheimer's or have died of it, your risk of developing the disease
increases. Your personal risk also depends several factors, including
how many family members are affected with Alzheimer's.
Genetic factors: Some genetic (inherited) factors may increase your
lifetime risk of getting Alzheimer's disease.
