What is
Alzheimer's
Disease?
Alzheimer's Disease damages the brain's intellectual functions (memory,
orientation, calculation), but at first, it largely spares those parts of the brain
that control sensation and movement. The memory often is affected early
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.
