SUMMARY
Look for 10 signs before asking, “Do I have Alzheimer’s?”
•Neuroscientists have a tough job teasing out typical, everyday aging from abnormal brain pathology. Just because you might show symptoms doesn’t mean a pathology exists.
•Mild cognitive impairment is the term clinicians use to designate the beginning of brain pathologies. MCI doesn’t mean seniors are necessarily on the path to dementia, Parkinson’s, or Alzheimer’s disease. Many seniors live long, happy lives with MCI.
•Dementia is a catchall term for a cluster of symptoms related to a loss of mental function. There are many age-related types.
•One in ten Americans over sixty-five lives with Alzheimer’s. It is the most expensive disease to treat in the world. The average amount of time people live with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis before they die is four to eight years.
