Shame it takes one of their own to be suffering to bring this to the headlines though. |

I think it was only a matter of time until whoever was in power decided to invest more into this. It's common knowledge that people are living longer and demands are increasing as more people are succumbing to Alzheimers and dementia due to longer life expectancy.
I'd like to see more money put into the ongoing care needs of this people and their families. It's all well and good doing the research, but money is needed now for this care to be provided properly.

My mum died from this horrible illness 3 years ago.
She had it for 5 years. To see what it did to her and the family the more research that goes on the better.
I would not wish it on anyone. It really is a awful thing.

Not as easy as you might think, and extremely difficult to determine what kind of dementia early. Alzheimers is generally only 100% confirmed by autopsy. Having said that there are tests on the way - watch this space over the next week or so...

Fantastic news. Unfortunately this is going to hit more and more people as we learn to cope better with the other killers. This government isn't all bad. Credit where its due.

Correct, it is a GP who refers a client who is then assessed by a psychiatric team, a lot of clients have early memory loss and for some that is as far as it goes, however for others it progresses and after various clinical tests it is still very difficult to diagnose which dementia it is, the most common is vascular dementia, but even then it is often mixed. It is generally fully diagnosed by the behaviors displayed by the clients. The other problem is treatment the drugs only work for approx 60% of clients, there are 3 main drugs used in dementia and they only delay the inevitable.
The other problem is families tend to cover symptoms, we visited a client the other week who was very advanced this is a common problem as the family fear the family member will automatically be put into care (which is avoided at all costs).
Terrible illness and as far as I am concerned money should be made available to help the families and clients through this traumatic time. |

My late father who passed away last year suffered from Alzheimers and looking back on it, the problem kind of crept up on him as a basic kind of forgetfulness in his 50's and 60's but it went ballistic towards the end.
It was tragic to watch a clever man reduced to the frightened person he was due to this condition.
Even so a lot of credit has to go to Wigan Memory Clinic for the help they gave him (and me and my family) so I hope despite this very welcome funding they do not themselves face any cut backs.
