May 31, 2024
A netizen said that her mother-in-law is 68 years old and has severe senile dementia. She used to live alone, but after getting lost, she has been living with them for three months. Based on her feelings, it is really difficult to calm down. My mother-in-law is a manic type. She gets angry and scolds people, and when she scolds, she speaks fluently and clearly. She scolds everything that sounds unpleasant. My husband says he even wants to slap her in the face, sometimes trembling with anger. Although you tell yourself that she is mentally ill, don't take her seriously, but you really can't control it. She had a strong personality when she was young, was unreasonable and selfish, and now no one likes her.
Aphasia, loss of recognition, memory impairment, visual abnormalities, and other common symptoms of elderly dementia, as well as poor individual mobility, are medically known as Alzheimer's disease, a hidden and progressive neurodegenerative disease. The number of people suffering from senile dementia in our country is as high as tens of millions, and with the aging of our population, the number of people suffering from senile dementia is also increasing. However, what are the reasons for this disease?

Let's follow me to learn about senile dementia.
Alzheimer's disease (scientific name: Alzheimer's disease) is a terrifying disease that is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system, with a subtle onset. At the beginning of the illness, the patient may forget some small things. Can't you remember to bring the key with you? Have you locked the door? Did you close the window? Later on, my speech gradually became disorganized, I couldn't express myself clearly, and my hands and feet became less agile. When it becomes more serious, the closest people such as children and spouses no longer remember, and their ability to act independently begins to decline.

At present, there is a tendency towards youthfulness in elderly dementia, and it is not ruled out that due to the improvement of medical understanding of elderly dementia, some early patient causes can be identified. According to statistics, in families with Alzheimer's disease, the incidence rate of close relatives is more than four times that of the general population. It can be recalled whether the elders in their families have suffered from Alzheimer's disease.
Suffering from senile dementia may go through three stages, and timely detection should not burden children
The first stage is mild dementia, also known as amnesia. At this stage, patients' memory will gradually deteriorate and they are prone to forgetting recent events, such as forgetting to lock the door or turn off the gas when going out.
The second stage is moderate dementia. The degree of memory degradation will be more severe, with a poor sense of direction and space, and may lead to getting lost outside.
The third stage is severe dementia. The patient's life has reached a point where they are completely unable to take care of themselves, with severe memory loss, urinary and fecal incontinence, limb stiffness, and ultimately bedridden. They often experience emotional apathy, unpredictable crying and laughing loss of speech ability, and other symptoms of systemic diseases, such as lung and urinary tract infections, pressure ulcers, and systemic failure. The patient may die from these complications, with serious consequences.
This situation should be diagnosed at a hospital with a memory clinic as soon as possible.

The survival cycle of elderly dementia patients is usually 8 to 10 years, and some patients can reach more than 15 years. However, without active treatment, elderly dementia patients will develop severe symptoms within three to five years. If effective treatment is taken, it will take about seven to eight years for patients to experience symptoms such as complete amnesia, inability to speak, inability to walk, and urinary and fecal incontinence, which can greatly improve the quality of life for patients and their families.
So how to prevent senile dementia?
To prevent dementia in the elderly, besides paying attention to self-management in daily life. Firstly, it is important to manage one's weight and never let oneself become overweight. Secondly, it is important to control blood pressure, regularly measure blood pressure, and avoid switching to high blood pressure. The third thing is to use your brain more and participate in social activities, communicate more with people, and have conversations with them. The fourth is to develop the habit of exercising, exercising about 5 times a week for more than half an hour each time. In addition, the following daily care is also very important.
1. Brain trauma
A study has shown that moderate traumatic brain injury increases the risk of developing dementia by two times, and severe traumatic brain injury increases by 4.5 times. Therefore, people who have experienced traumatic brain injury should pay special attention to their lifestyle.
2. Proper nourishment
After years of research, scientists related to Cistanche deserticola have found that Cistanche deserticola has good effects on memory decline and prevention of senile dementia. "Cistanche deserticola is a famous Chinese herbal medicine, which has many functions such as anti-aging, anti-fatigue, anti-Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease, regulating immune function, relieving constipation, protecting the liver, etc., and is known as' desert ginseng '.

According to research conducted by Professor Tu Pengfei, Chief Scientist of Cistanche deserticola at Peking University School of Pharmacy, it has been confirmed that:
The key extracts of Cistanche deserticola, "Echinoside" and "Poroside", can enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier, helping nerve cell regeneration and repair; "Echinoside" and "poolside" also have antioxidant effects, which can repair mitochondrial damage caused by oxidation, restore normal function of mitochondria, and thereby achieve the effects of restoring and strengthening brain function, enhancing the elasticity of brain cell membranes, increasing brain capacity, activating brain cells, and promoting brain cell metabolism.
In the study experiment of using Cistanche deserticola to treat senile dementia, 124 patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) were randomly divided into two groups. The control group was given Anlishen, while the treatment group was given Cistanche deserticola total glycoside capsules for 12 weeks. The clinical dementia progression scale (CDR), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and ADL scores were recorded before and after treatment, and the degree of dementia and ADL ability of the patients were measured.
The results indicate that after 12 weeks, CDR and ADL in both groups decreased significantly, while MMSE increased significantly. The total glycosides of Cistanche deserticola have a therapeutic effect on AD patients, which can delay the progression of dementia. The effect is similar to that of Anlishen, with fewer adverse reactions.

In the treatment of vascular dementia (VD) with Cistanche deserticola, 70 patients with mild to moderate cognitive impairment were randomly divided into a Cistanche deserticola total glycoside group and a Naofukang control group. Both groups were orally administered enteric-coated aspirin and nimodipine, while the treatment group received Cistanche deserticola total glycoside addition and the control group received Naofukang in addition. The course of treatment was 16 weeks, and the cognitive function of the patients was checked every 4 weeks before and after medication. MMSE was used to assess the patient's cognitive function, CDR was used to assess the degree of dementia, ADL was used to measure the patient's daily living ability, adverse reactions were recorded, and corresponding physical and laboratory tests were conducted.
The results indicate that after 12 weeks, CDR and ADL in both groups decreased significantly, while MMSE increased significantly. The total glycosides of Cistanche deserticola have a therapeutic effect on AD patients, which can delay the progression of dementia. The effect is similar to that of Anlishen, with fewer adverse reactions.
3. Maintain a happy mood
Longevity individuals are generally optimistic, have a good mentality, and have fewer illnesses. Medical evidence has shown that individuals with physical and mental depression are indeed prone to developing Alzheimer's disease, as they experience mental disorders and live in their world. Only by standing aloof from the world, being open-minded, happy, and optimistic, can one remain healthy forever.
Finally, the editor's conclusion: Alzheimer's disease is a gradually worsening disease. Generally speaking, it starts with confusion in memory and gradually presents the above symptoms. When parents experience these symptoms, it is important to promptly take them to the hospital for treatment, as timely treatment can help control the progression of the disease.
