This irreversible and progressive disease of the brain shrinks the blood cells and typically has an effect on a person’s memory and thinking skills. And as the disease advances, the person gradually loses the ability to do the most basic and simple tasks. Knowing the following seven tips can benefit one when it comes to managing Alzheimer’s disease: Continue with treatment The FDA has approved several prescriptions for treating Alzheimer’s symptoms and one in June 2021 to treat its underlying biology. There are no approved non-prescription treatments. One must follow the doctor’s guidelines to the T to get the optimum benefit of the available treatments. To explore alternative treatments, one must do it by consulting their doctor. Without a structured treatment, the disease may progress quickly. Manage comorbidities Hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, COPD, and depression are some of the most common comorbidities of Alzheimer’s disease. It is important to continue the treatment of these illnesses. Worsening symptoms of existing diseases can cause additional pain and distress to patients.
