Dementia: A Growing Health Concern Needing Further Resources Humphrey Ominisan once said, “You cannot have everything in life. Even the trees must lose their leaves.” He is absolutely correct. In our first two stages of life, childhood and adulthood, we are young and we are preparing for whatever it may be that life throws at us; trying to get into a good college, taking care of family, or even preparing financially for retirement. However, older age constitutes the last few decades of ones life and it is a period where one is entitled to enjoy …show more content…

    Case Study Adult Development in Social Work

    ‘Dementia is an umbrella term used to refer to a collection of symptoms that can result from a number of different diseases of the brain’ (BBC, 2013). The progressive deterioration in cognitive function that is synonymous with dementia tends to result in confusion, memory loss, impaired language skills, communication and information processing difficulties, in addition to unreliable judgement (NHS, 2013). 820,000 people in the UK currently have a diagnosis of dementia and it mainly affects those over the age of 65 with a prevalence of 4.61% in the male population aged 70-74 (Alzheimer’s Research UK, no date). It is estimated that approximately 1 million people will have been diagnosed with dementia by 2021 (Alzheimer’s Society, 2013). Unfortunately, dementia is a progressive disease, for which there is currently no cure. This means that Winston’s existing symptoms of confusion and forgetfulness will gradually get worse and will eventually result in death (World Health Organisation, 2012). Notwithstanding, those diagnosed with dementia are often offered medical and psychological treatments that are designed to either delay or improve the more debilitating aspects of the disease (NHS, 2013). As dementia progresses, memory loss and difficulties with communication often become more severe. The latter stages of dementia result in the likelihood of the individual neglecting their own health and requiring constant care and attention. This can lead to the individual being unable to…

    Annotated Bibiliography

    Moore, Elaine A, and Lisa Moore. Encyclopedia of Alzheimer 's Disease: With Directories of Research, Treatment and Care Facilities. Jefferson, N.C: McFarland, 2012. Print. This piece of text is very informational in the way it describes Alzheimer’s and the places where a patient can go for help and therapy. The text explains everything about Alzheimer’s and it helps the reader to further understand what the disease actually entails. The encyclopedia is very descriptive, but it can be bland and dry. Since it is an encyclopedia, there are a lot of graphs that try to help the reader relate the information portrayed through a graph. The text is decent, however, it is very informational and boring to read. It is useful for those who want to the complete understanding of what Alzheimer’s is. Although it is useful, it is not a particular text that you would want to spend your Saturday afternoon reading. It is a reliable source because it is an encyclopedia and it has been revised multiple times before it has been published.…

    Persuasive Essay On Alzheimer's

    Many people are killed since their is no cure for Alzheimer’s due to the lack of funding provided for research. According to Kimberly Leonard, a health care reporter, $5 billion from the National Cancer Institute is given to cancer research, while $2 billion is given to HIV research which kills nearly 7,700 Americans a year. Although Alzheimer’s is not preventable since there is a lack of research for cures, cancer and HIV continue to receive significant more funding from the government. This problem is being caused since Alzheimer's is not a top priority. Even though Alzheimer’s is one of the main causes of death, other diseases such as HIV/AIDS are continuing to receive more funding for research. Since other, less persistent, diseases are…
