It’s emotionally disturbing for the whole family of the person when the person remembers each name but can’t identify the person. Too disturbing I think
My grandmother passed away from Alzheimer's disease a little over a year ago. It was heartbreaking watch her personality and soul slip away over the years until there was nothing left but a shell. I know she is at peace now. Te quiero mucho, abueli
My Mom at the age of 53 in 2003 was misdiagnosed with Alzheimer's. Fast forward to 2014 and 11 years of taking care of my Mom with the help of my Dad, Sister, and Nephew shes still going strong. My Mom is fully dependent on us for everything despite not being able to talk,walk, or do anything. She still smiles and laughs everyday even more so since we took off one of her meds. Sometimes she'll even still gives me a kiss when I ask her to. Watching this video is personally very hard for me because it puts everything in reality of what could happen.
That's why caring for someone with ALZ has been referred to as the long and winding road. What used to be 6 months to a couple years of care until death has increased to 10 years and more with today's medications and conveniences.
If somebody you love has Alzheimer's. Label everything, because if you do he will read it and his brain will start working harder to read it and if he practices it everyday. He will probably and hopefully never lose his ability to read.
That won't work in the long run though. If alzhiemers can kill people by destroying those cells (which it can, I've just been to my grandmothers funeral) then reading will still be destroyed even if it is just a little bit later.
My grandfather have Alzheimer's disease. It's very difficult to see how he is now compared to what he was just a few years ago. He has always been a healthy man, For one and a half years ago he was able to drive and take care of himself. Now he's living at a nursing home and he needs help to do stuff he is supposed to easily do himself. I have so many good memories of him. To see him slowly lose heart and give up is just awful. I guess it's too late for my grandfather, but I really hope that they find a cure for this disease, because it really is a cruel disease.
@@hoenn4ever829 No, he passed away a year ago. He had a lot of problems at the end and died in a lot of pain. As much as I love him and wish he still could be here, I'm also kind of relieved, because that also meant that he could go rest without all the pain and suffering he was going through. But I'm thinking of him every day, and I know he's still with me.
+Good Cents No..its herpes. its not a game anymore. Herpes simplex 1 is the main culprit. no more fairy tale stuff. no more debates.. about whats the cause or whatever.. its herpes. it is no longer a theory.. now we need to focus our attention on the cause that is now known. no more playing games with theory and herbs.
My grandma has alzheimer's and its gotten worst since my grandpa died last year. What hurts me the most was never about her forgetting me, its when she blamed and cry herself for not being able to remember. She got frustrated and her moodswings are so bad. I hate seeing her feeling lonely.

My mom has dementia, and my mom in law has Alzheimer's. Mom's mind was pretty much gone, by the time we realized something was seriously wrong with MIL. But now, MIL is so much worse than my mom, and you can't take your eyes off her for a second! There are two of us who care for her full time, and we are stretched thin. I don't know how a person, without help, would manage to care for an Alzheimer's patient, but I am sure there are a lot out there, who have no other options. God bless them all.
+itsnotthesamething Herpes simplex 1 causes it. such a simple thing causes such a huge problem. tell your doctor NOW! ASK HIM ABOUT RESEARCH around anti viral drugs to stop or slow it down.
JRLM I went and looked up your claim. Although there has been some speculation, there is no definitive proof, at this time. My mom has had fever blisters, but, to my knowledge, my mom in law does not. It makes sense that it could play a role though. I have it, and when mine flairs up, I can feel it all over the right side of my face and it feels deep, like it's in my brain. According to one article I read, up to 90% of the population has Simplex 1 now. So if it turns out to be true, there is going to be a big problem, when all those people start getting into their golden years!
+itsnotthesamething There is proof and its herpes.. simplex 1.. not just chicken pox or genitial herpes.. its specifically herpes simplex 1. most people have herpes antibodies but not most people have herpes simplex 1.. . the fever blister. now tha they have found the cause a cure can be made... it might not be too late for your family members and it wont be too late for you too. or my daughter or my wife...who both get fever blisters. now having a fever blister does not gurantee that youll come down with dementia but you are 4 times more likel too..

@@alicesamekbenoit5990 My mom passed away in 2018 @93 years old. My mom in law passed in 2019 @84 years old. It was a long haul, but a labor of love, caring for them.
Thanks for the great video! I'm a carer for people with Dementia and AD is a horrible disease. I take comfort in knowing that i'm doing at least something to contribute to the wellbeing of those living with it every day. Hopefully we can find a cure or make significant progress sooner rather than later.
If someone watching this found the cure they wouldn't get it from watching this, there already many people researching looking for a cure or at least a prevention, or something to stop it from getting any worse
keep cutting down the rain forest. we don't need it. you know, theres no natural medicinal archives in there. lol but most of our medical discoveries have come from nature. truly amazing.
Cheesypoof Yeah, but they can get inspired. People can be inspired by little things and lots of discoveries and famous people of science started in a way like that.
My mom is only 50 and she's at stage 4 , Never have i ever thought that my mom would get sick at the age of 50 and what makes it even worse is the fact that i'm only 20 i'm still a student i can't help my dad with her medical bills or anything and she's getting worse
it is a theory that herpes might be linked to creating plaque on the nerves in the brain. however, this has not been proven. another theory is the exessive use of DDT in the 30's and 40's until it was discovered that the substance was hoghly poisonous.
My grandfather has this horrible disease he has survived 3 car crashes and lots of more things like broken jaw and ribs and he is my hero i hope he defeats this disease like he defeated eveything else please people discover a cure i know its a really though job but if you were in my spot youd do anything 😰😥 cant wait till summer so i could see him and take care of him and be there for him.
I hope they find a cure soon. My grandfather died of the disease, started making insane decisions before he died. My mother is still devastated to this day. :/

@@mainlands1 genetics can only affect us so much. The reason a lot of illnesses and diseases are caused and then labeled as part of genetics is due to the lifestyle choices passed down from generation to generation. If we as a collective choose to be more conscious about our environmental issues, diets, overall lifestyle choices, etc. We will be able to further prevent these diseases.

My mother had dementia from clogged arteries in her brain (doctors attributed to her heavy smoking her entire life) for well over ten years up until her death. Long before she was diagnosed she was repeating the same story over and over sometimes within the same conversation. Then she started wandering away even in the middle of the night thinking she had to get to work until it was impossible to keep an eye on her making regular care necessary. There were some bad times with the places she was put into, caregivers taking her things, facilities not keeping a good enough eye on her allowing her to leave once while it was over 100F and she tried to walk to work when she hadn't worked in years. She seemed to remember memories of me from a long time ago but not recent.
Thank you for the post. Helped me. I wonder if I have more of a chance of Alzheimer's as I've taken Depression Medication for years. What is that doing to my nerve endings in my brain? Dear Lord, please bless all those inflicted with this disease, I pray, amen.
As a Nursing Assistant, I take care of many residents who have Alzheimer's disease or some form of dementia. One of my residents is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and it has been increasingly difficult for her to endure. I'm guessing for her, the plaques and tangles have now reached the region of the brain that controls emotions because for someone who was usually an easy going, happy individual, she is now experiencing wild mood swings of anger and sporadic crying fits in which she cries because she doesn't know what's going on. Getting to know all of my residents with Alzheimer's has made me much more empathetic to the loss that the affected person and their family go through during this difficult time. I also have other residents whose Alzheimer's have progressed much further. Many of them don't recognize their own children let alone remember what they had for breakfast. Eventually, I hope they are able to find a cure for Alzheimer's as it's an incredibly sad and scary disease.
My grandpa has had this for almost 10 years now and it’s longer than most people have (meaning they probably die of it) it so he’s lucky. But then again he’s not, he can’t walk, talk, or eat on his own anymore it’s sad to watch. I am 13 and visit him every week and help out my aunt who lives with him when I can. Good luck to those of you who have it or relatives who have it, you’re always in my heart 😊
@@mythicallegendxoxo2715 i can imagine what it’s like for you guys, it always helped me to know that even if he doesn’t remember your name or exactly who you are he still remembers the feeling that you gave him and he still knows that he loves you even if he doesn’t always know why
Personally, I hate it when people joke about Alzheimer's disease. It is a very serious and depressing disease. It's not even a natural part of aging. The disease basically involves a person slowly losing their dearest memories, the ability to do the things they love and eventually, their sanity until they pass away. I wish the best for everyone suffering from this disease and I hope a cure comes soon.
My great grandmother and my grandmother had Alzheimer’s. Outside of my parents, no one had the impact like my grandma did. Watching her slowly forget me was one of the most painful things. I didn’t expect for her passing to be as hard as it was because I felt like I had already grieved her for a decade. When I was a little kid in the 90s, my goal was to figure out a cure for Alzheimer’s disease so I didn’t have to lose my grandma like that. Sadly no one has come up with anything. I really worry about my mom developing it, and I know she does as well (as did my grandma, to the point where she did everything she could to demonstrate she wasn’t suffering from it. She likely needed more intensive care for 5-6yrs before she was diagnosed but she was smart enough to stave it off). Now my other grandmother has it. I’ve never been as close with her but it’s still hard and it dredges up the painful memories of my grandma looking blankly at me and asking, “Who are you?”.
My lovely grandmother had Alzheimer's I went through years of being her grandaughter then be came her best friend and then the last 5 years of her life she did'nt know who I was at all. I'm 52 and work in a job that I need to remember numbers and other things. I found myself making mistakes but not knowing how I could have done that. 1 year ago I put myself on 1000 of vitamin D and it has changed my life totally. Not just with my memory but with my health as well. I also have a 16 year old dog who last year was wetting herself everyday and having a hard time breathing. I thought we were going to have to put her to sleep. I thought I had nothing to lose by giving her a 1000 of vitamin D and over night she changed no more wetting and her breathing came right and she can even run around without falling over with loss of breath. she has one drop in her food everyday for the last year.
I was diagnosed of Alzheimer's since 2010 and I was taking my medications, I wasn't satisfied i needed to get rid of it once and for all out of my system, I searched about some possible cure for Alzheimer's i saw a comment about Dr. Saibu ,how he cured lupus with his herbal medicine, I contacted him and he guided me. I asked for solutions, he started the remedy for my health, he sent me the medicine through UPS SPEED POST. I took the medicine as prescribed by him and 14 days later i was cured from Alzheimer's finally, all thanks to drsaibu2@gmail.com or whatsApp +2348064438762 want to no more info email me a kateaurelo183@gmail.com.
Honestly I don't really think it's all that bad, considering how many ways a person can die this seems pretty merciful. When a person has Alzheimer's they pretty much just "live" in their most vivid memories and also they aren't really aware of the fact that they are dying. The only people Alzheimer's hurt emotionally are the people close to the affected person. And honestly spending my last days reliving the most memorable parts of my life seems like a nice way to go.
Please note that Alzheimer's DOES NOT cause dementia (as heard at 0:11), but rather is a form of dementia. The word dementia is a general term that refers to many different diseases. Different types of dementia are caused by different physical changes to the brain. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer's disease causes a gradual (slow) onset of memory loss that affects the person's ability to function on a day-to-day basis, and a continuing decline. To learn more, visit the WHO website which has a section on dementia, or Alzheimer Disease International to find your Alzheimer Society in your country.
Perfect sounddesign and animation. I ask myself where TED-Ed get those good motion graphic artists :P Maybe I can make a animation for TED-Ed in the future :)
TED-Ed, thank you for the video. Most families don't understand why their loved one is afflicted with AD. This video doesn't answer they why so much as it shows what occurs at a cellular level and is a good educational tool.
As long as the medical companies can't make enough money all the cures will not come to the world... I have a feeling everything can be cured... already.
mbiesheuvel research is extremely expensive and takes a long time - symptoms are easier and cheaper to treat and you have to treat them too until you have a real cure - but there is also research for real cures and research behind the mechanism - would you rather research 25 years focussing (financially etc) on a real cure (not knowing that you will manage that) while neglecting the suffering patiens or treating the symptoms for more than 50 years knowing that you got a better chances in producing medicine for that enabling a better life for patients even though they get not cured - and of course medical companies want money -> like I said scientific research is fucking expensive
I don't think you understand, its not just about money. I'm not saying money has nothing to do with it, but there is a lot more to curing a disease than money. So no, not everything can already be cured.
My Uncle had Alzheimer's and he forgot who my Aunt was. One night he got out of bed and just left the house. My Aunt woke up and got in her car to look for him. When she found him he had trouble explaining why he was where he was. He was soon after hospitalized.
Is Alzheimer's Disease possible to be dianogsed in younger patients? For example can a 20 year old dude contract Alzheimer's Disease? It's common in the middle aged or the elderly but is it possible to occur in young people? Can anyone answer this? I need an answer urgently.

My father was diagnosed of Alzheimer's disease recently. I know there is no cure, but I understand that exercise is still the best form of treatment for the symptoms and should be the main focus before meds. He's on the meds, so let's put that aside. So for exercise my doctor warned me that if he gets too strong he could hurt people as his confusion increases. So the advice was only walking. I'd love any feedback on this, thank you thanksdoc
I am moving towards age 19, already started to struggle finding difference between dream and real life.it becomes increasingly difficult as years passes,alphabets replaces numbers in my mind and stops me from doing even a addition,started to doubt my own present decisions as I found my previous thoughts were wrong(my brain is not stable).if anyone had a study regarding my cases,please let me know what is happening around me.....
Attention! Children of Senior Parents, If you are reading this and contemplating putting your parent in a nursing home, know that it is the wrong decision. Your parents loved you and took care of you as a child and as an adult it is time (with the help of your children and siblings) to help them. Is it hard? Yes! Is it rewarding? No. But the guilt of having someone else do it and find out that your mother or father spent their last few days wasting away, not being fed, not being bathed, not being taken care of is worst. They call them Health Care Professionals, but they should call them Health Care Killers. They are getting paid a salary to help and in most cases harm. So, don’t be surprise if an alert, slightly disable parent enters a nursing home and becomes a quickly non-responsive invalid after a matter of days. It is not your parent and aging it is lack of love. Get home health and make the most of it. Treat your parent with the respect they deserve. God will bless you for it. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. " Honour your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." ( Ephesians 6:1-2, ESV. See also Colossians 3:20) - Ephesians 6:1-2 (ESV)
This video is amazing and so very interesting I always wondered how where and what Alzheimer's Disease is thank you so much for the very beautiful animated pictures and wonderful very interesting audio and video Amazing @ Ted-Ed👍👍😀😀🌹🌹❤️❤️
I don't think so, I've only heard of middle aged to elderly people being afflicted by the specific form of dementia, but someone 11 could have Schizophrenia or another form of dementia
Could you please stop telling people its herpes. Because 90% of everyone has herpes, But do you see 90% of everyone getting dementia no. From most sources i heard its genetical. But if is somehow magically herpes. Wouldn't a cure for Alzheimers be alot easier?
If you're interested in research that looks at possible root causes for Alzheimer's, check out the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen. He had a 2018 study in the Journal of Alzheimers Disease & Parkinsonism. The study is titled: "Reversal of Cognitive Decline: 100 patients." It's fascinating stuff!
Ok, I'm scared that I may have Alzheimer's and they say that it's rare for young people (I'm 12) so anybody can help confirm that I'm safe. I am very forgetful and sometimes forget about memorable moments. I frequently experience a kind of Deja'vu except it's like I think I done something somewhere before or in a dream. I was mildly depressed during 5th grade. I also make false memories like one time I thought I did something and realize I did it yesterday not today. Please I don't wanna have such a sad disease and death.
Bad nutrition and food contamination is the most important thing in forming any kind of disease and disorder. Educate your self about nutrition and it's effects on human body.

2:13 "The destructive pairing of plaques and tangles starts in a region called the hippocampus, which is responsible for forming memories. That's why short-term memory loss is usually the first symptom of Alzheimer's" Wait, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought hippocampus is responsible for long-term associations rather than short-term memories. Therefore, the first symptom of Alzheimer's disease should not be short-term memory loss. It would be something similar to anterograde amnesia (forming new long-term memories) and retrograde amnesia (loss of episodic memory particularly).
Just found out my Dad has Alzheimer's disease tonight. I, of course, am not handling it well. At all. They said it will kill him, they have no cure, it will progress in time to make him worse, then told me what the diease will do to him. With my future dead father in mind, I am going to have a meltdown now.

That was a very good video... that's the first time I've been able to actually understand what it does, and how it ultimately kills. My mom has all the signs of it, and after a TON of research.... I've found - coconut oil - turmeric - and PING PONG... of all things... to be THE best place to start for the person you're trying to heal. (I've seen TED talks for coconut oil and ping pong relating to alzheimer's... but the turmeric idea came from other research. It's all over the web if you just search for it.) I'm about to get a ping pong table for my mom to see what happens. We need to do something about this.... If we don't... who will? AND.... we're all getting older too... so don't give up!! ❤︎
My dad has very early Alzheimer’s but he is very normal so far, he is only a little forgetful about misplacing things or responds the wrong answer to a question he is 55, I had no idea until I overheard my parents talking, I haven’t told them I heard and I can’t help but cry myself to sleep, somebody please help me, I am 21, I hope it doesn’t get worse, I don’t know what to do

I think I might have alzeimers. I keep trying to get diagnosed but I keep forgetting when I made my appointment and which doctor I made the appointment with... Wait... What was this video about?
David Buck and Nicolas, you obviously do not have a parent or loved one with this terrible disease. However funny you may think the comment is, it only shows your lack of compassion and respect for those who have it and/or their caretaker (usually a family member). I too, have a loved one with Alzheimer's, and have watched her demise, and the toll it has taken on her daughter. While I do not condone Kyle's cursing, I can understand how he feels, and perhaps, Nicolas' comment pushed Kyle over the top, especially considering the devastation the disease has caused in his immediate family. Put yourself in the shoes of family members that have lost loved ones this way and see if you might not react differently. Just sayin!
Nicolas I think you might have cognitive ignorance and a severe lack of empathy. Fortunately, this is curable: educate yourself on the topic at hand and think before you speak.
If you enjoyed this video, you may also want to know that it's estimated that 45 million out of the 328 million people in the U.S. will have Alzheimers! That's 13.7%!!
Its so sad if one of your parents have this azhermer watch this I promise you will die crying (The greatest love) this movie shows what siblings can do to their mother.
Perhaps the toxins used might be a clue, or even the chemicals that are being used more and more frequently in everyday life especially in agriculture. This sort of thing is getting out of hand and I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is coming from the outside.

My grandfather have Alzheimer's disease. It's very difficult to see how he is now compared to what he was just a few years ago. He has always been a healthy man, For one and a half years ago he was able to drive and take care of himself. Now he's living at a nursing home and he needs help to do stuff he is supposed to easily do himself. I have so many good memories of him. To see him slowly lose heart and give up is just awful. I guess it's too late for my grandfather, but I really hope that they find a cure for this disease, because it really is a cruel disease.

Herpes simplex 1 is the main culprit. no more fairy tale stuff. no more debates.. about whats the cause or whatever.. its herpes. it is no longer a theory.. now we need to focus our attention on the cause that is now known. no more playing games with theory and herbs.
can brain transplant cure Alzheimer's?
You Like Pie You are your brain. So no, it wouldn't help at all.
My grandma has alzheimer's and its gotten worst since my grandpa died last year. What hurts me the most was never about her forgetting me, its when she blamed and cry herself for not being able to remember. She got frustrated and her moodswings are so bad. I hate seeing her feeling lonely.
Is it caused due to loneliness?
I'm so sorry to hear that.
the brain, one of the most hardest to treat
It definitely is
Most hardest?
i would say as a med student the hardest haha so much going on at the same time on such a small space just amazing

My mom has dementia, and my mom in law has Alzheimer's. Mom's mind was pretty much gone, by the time we realized something was seriously wrong with MIL. But now, MIL is so much worse than my mom, and you can't take your eyes off her for a second! There are two of us who care for her full time, and we are stretched thin. I don't know how a person, without help, would manage to care for an Alzheimer's patient, but I am sure there are a lot out there, who have no other options. God bless them all.
+itsnotthesamething Herpes simplex 1 causes it. such a simple thing causes such a huge problem. tell your doctor NOW! ASK HIM ABOUT RESEARCH around anti viral drugs to stop or slow it down.
JRLM I went and looked up your claim. Although there has been some speculation, there is no definitive proof, at this time. My mom has had fever blisters, but, to my knowledge, my mom in law does not. It makes sense that it could play a role though. I have it, and when mine flairs up, I can feel it all over the right side of my face and it feels deep, like it's in my brain. According to one article I read, up to 90% of the population has Simplex 1 now. So if it turns out to be true, there is going to be a big problem, when all those people start getting into their golden years!
+itsnotthesamething There is proof and its herpes.. simplex 1.. not just chicken pox or genitial herpes.. its specifically herpes simplex 1. most people have herpes antibodies but not most people have herpes simplex 1.. . the fever blister. now tha they have found the cause a cure can be made... it might not be too late for your family members and it wont be too late for you too. or my daughter or my wife...who both get fever blisters. now having a fever blister does not gurantee that youll come down with dementia but you are 4 times more likel too..

Just finding out what my grandfather has...
it is a theory that herpes might be linked to creating plaque on the nerves in the brain. however, this has not been proven. another theory is the exessive use of DDT in the 30's and 40's until it was discovered that the substance was hoghly poisonous.
No its no longer a theory it is fact and proven.
My grandfather has this horrible disease he has survived 3 car crashes and lots of more things like broken jaw and ribs and he is my hero i hope he defeats this disease like he defeated eveything else please people discover a cure i know its a really though job but if you were in my spot youd do anything 😰😥 cant wait till summer so i could see him and take care of him and be there for him.
I hope they find a cure soon. My grandfather died of the disease, started making insane decisions before he died. My mother is still devastated to this day. :/

My mother had dementia from clogged arteries in her brain (doctors attributed to her heavy smoking her entire life) for well over ten years up until her death. Long before she was diagnosed she was repeating the same story over and over sometimes within the same conversation. Then she started wandering away even in the middle of the night thinking she had to get to work until it was impossible to keep an eye on her making regular care necessary. There were some bad times with the places she was put into, caregivers taking her things, facilities not keeping a good enough eye on her allowing her to leave once while it was over 100F and she tried to walk to work when she hadn't worked in years. She seemed to remember memories of me from a long time ago but not recent.
My uncle just died of Alzheimer's yesterday. I will miss him more than I can say. He was a great guy too.
Thank you for the post. Helped me. I wonder if I have more of a chance of Alzheimer's as I've taken Depression Medication for years. What is that doing to my nerve endings in my brain? Dear Lord, please bless all those inflicted with this disease, I pray, amen.

As a Nursing Assistant, I take care of many residents who have Alzheimer's disease or some form of dementia. One of my residents is in the early stages of Alzheimer's and it has been increasingly difficult for her to endure. I'm guessing for her, the plaques and tangles have now reached the region of the brain that controls emotions because for someone who was usually an easy going, happy individual, she is now experiencing wild mood swings of anger and sporadic crying fits in which she cries because she doesn't know what's going on. Getting to know all of my residents with Alzheimer's has made me much more empathetic to the loss that the affected person and their family go through during this difficult time. I also have other residents whose Alzheimer's have progressed much further. Many of them don't recognize their own children let alone remember what they had for breakfast. Eventually, I hope they are able to find a cure for Alzheimer's as it's an incredibly sad and scary disease.
My grandpa has had this for almost 10 years now and it’s longer than most people have (meaning they probably die of it) it so he’s lucky.
But then again he’s not, he can’t walk, talk, or eat on his own anymore it’s sad to watch. I am 13 and visit him every week and help out my aunt who lives with him when I can.
Good luck to those of you who have it or relatives who have it, you’re always in my heart

Personally, I hate it when people joke about Alzheimer's disease.
It is a very serious and depressing disease. It's not even a natural part of aging.
The disease basically involves a person slowly losing their dearest memories, the ability to do the things they love and eventually, their sanity until they pass away.
I wish the best for everyone suffering from this disease and I hope a cure comes soon.
my dad just passed away in may.hope you find a cure.
I'm so sorry

My great grandmother and my grandmother had Alzheimer’s. Outside of my parents, no one had the impact like my grandma did. Watching her slowly forget me was one of the most painful things. I didn’t expect for her passing to be as hard as it was because I felt like I had already grieved her for a decade. When I was a little kid in the 90s, my goal was to figure out a cure for Alzheimer’s disease so I didn’t have to lose my grandma like that. Sadly no one has come up with anything. I really worry about my mom developing it, and I know she does as well (as did my grandma, to the point where she did everything she could to demonstrate she wasn’t suffering from it. She likely needed more intensive care for 5-6yrs before she was diagnosed but she was smart enough to stave it off).
Now my other grandmother has it. I’ve never been as close with her but it’s still hard and it dredges up the painful memories of my grandma looking blankly at me and asking, “Who are you?”.
My lovely grandmother had Alzheimer's I went through years of being her grandaughter then be came her best friend and then the last 5 years of her life she did'nt know who I was at all. I'm 52 and work in a job that I need to remember numbers and other things. I found myself making mistakes but not knowing how I could have done that. 1 year ago I put myself on 1000 of vitamin D and it has changed my life totally. Not just with my memory but with my health as well. I also have a 16 year old dog who last year was wetting herself everyday and having a hard time breathing. I thought we were going to have to put her to sleep. I thought I had nothing to lose by giving her a 1000 of vitamin D and over night she changed no more wetting and her breathing came right and she can even run around without falling over with loss of breath. she has one drop in her food everyday for the last year.
Wow , what kind of your dog ?
That’s very touching story
my late great grandfather had this, he passed two weeks ago. i miss him very much but i’m glad he is in heaven with my great grandmother ❤️

I needed this for Psychology.
Hopefully this disease can be found a cure... but thanks Ted-Ed for sharing this awesome animation!
Honestly I don't really think it's all that bad, considering how many ways a person can die this seems pretty merciful. When a person has Alzheimer's they pretty much just "live" in their most vivid memories and also they aren't really aware of the fact that they are dying. The only people Alzheimer's hurt emotionally are the people close to the affected person. And honestly spending my last days reliving the most memorable parts of my life seems like a nice way to go.
Please note that Alzheimer's DOES NOT cause dementia (as heard at 0:11), but rather is a form of dementia. The word dementia is a general term that refers to many different diseases. Different types of dementia are caused by different physical changes to the brain. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer's disease causes a gradual (slow) onset of memory loss that affects the person's ability to function on a day-to-day basis, and a continuing decline. To learn more, visit the WHO website which has a section on dementia, or Alzheimer Disease International to find your Alzheimer Society in your country.

As long as the medical companies can't make enough money all the cures will not come to the world... I have a feeling everything can be cured... already.
uff you seem to have no insight into cell biology and biochemistry
Indeed... I hated biology in school :).. too hard for me! That's why i took computer science! much easier.
mbiesheuvel research is extremely expensive and takes a long time
- symptoms are easier and cheaper to treat and you have to treat them too until you have a real cure - but there is also research for real cures and research behind the mechanism
- would you rather research 25 years focussing (financially etc) on a real cure (not knowing that you will manage that) while neglecting the suffering patiens or treating the symptoms for more than 50 years knowing that you got a better chances in producing medicine for that enabling a better life for patients even though they get not cured
- and of course medical companies want money -> like I said scientific research is fucking expensive
I don't think you understand, its not just about money. I'm not saying money has nothing to do with it, but there is a lot more to curing a disease than money. So no, not everything can already be cured.
mbiesheuvel alzheimers have no need to be cured because most who have it are so old they need to be executed.

I know there is no cure, but I understand that exercise is still the best form of treatment for the symptoms and should be the main focus before meds. He's on the meds, so let's put that aside.

Attention! Children of Senior Parents,
If you are reading this and contemplating putting your parent in a nursing home, know that it is the wrong decision. Your parents loved you and took care of you as a child and as an adult it is time (with the help of your children and siblings) to help them. Is it hard? Yes! Is it rewarding? No. But the guilt of having someone else do it and find out that your mother or father spent their last few days wasting away, not being fed, not being bathed, not being taken care of is worst.
They call them Health Care Professionals, but they should call them Health Care Killers. They are getting paid a salary to help and in most cases harm. So, don’t be surprise if an alert, slightly disable parent enters a nursing home and becomes a quickly non-responsive invalid after a matter of days. It is not your parent and aging it is lack of love.
Get home health and make the most of it. Treat your parent with the respect they deserve. God will bless you for it. Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. " Honour your father and mother" (this is the first commandment with a promise), "that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land." ( Ephesians 6:1-2, ESV. See also Colossians 3:20) - Ephesians 6:1-2 (ESV)

Could you please stop telling people its herpes. Because 90% of everyone has herpes, But do you see 90% of everyone getting dementia no. From most sources i heard its genetical. But if is somehow magically herpes. Wouldn't a cure for Alzheimers be alot easier?
its herpes and other viruses that live in the nerves in the face and brain.

If you're interested in research that looks at possible root causes for Alzheimer's, check out the work of Dr. Dale Bredesen. He had a 2018 study in the Journal of Alzheimers Disease & Parkinsonism. The study is titled: "Reversal of Cognitive Decline: 100 patients." It's fascinating stuff!
Ok, I'm scared that I may have Alzheimer's and they say that it's rare for young people (I'm 12) so anybody can help confirm that I'm safe. I am very forgetful and sometimes forget about memorable moments. I frequently experience a kind of Deja'vu except it's like I think I done something somewhere before or in a dream. I was mildly depressed during 5th grade. I also make false memories like one time I thought I did something and realize I did it yesterday not today. Please I don't wanna have such a sad disease and death.

If bad nutrition was the answer then alzheimers would have been erradicated, please reevaluate your hypothesis.

"The destructive pairing of plaques and tangles starts in a region called the hippocampus, which is responsible for forming memories. That's why short-term memory loss is usually the first symptom of Alzheimer's"
Wait, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought hippocampus is responsible for long-term associations rather than short-term memories. Therefore, the first symptom of Alzheimer's disease should not be short-term memory loss. It would be something similar to anterograde amnesia (forming new long-term memories) and retrograde amnesia (loss of episodic memory particularly).
The hippocampus does memory consolidation.Basically,it turns short-term memories into long-term memories.You were correct at amnesia definitions.

I'm about to get a ping pong table for my mom to see what happens.
We need to do something about this.... If we don't... who will?
AND.... we're all getting older too... so don't give up!! ❤︎
Hope you and your mom are doing well
How's she doing now?? :)
how's she doing? tell us!
My dad has Alzheimer's and I'm 14, this is absolutely devastating to me. Any tips?
My dad has very early Alzheimer’s but he is very normal so far, he is only a little forgetful about misplacing things or responds the wrong answer to a question he is 55, I had no idea until I overheard my parents talking, I haven’t told them I heard and I can’t help but cry myself to sleep, somebody please help me, I am 21, I hope it doesn’t get worse, I don’t know what to do

+MagicSunshineSkies herpes has been the cause of this disorder. so sad such a simple thing has causes such heartache.
My grandma has it. I just lost my grandpa 6 months ago.
My grondmother she has diognased with that desease wich has affect dementia, she is with us she can't walk unless only by the weelchair ,sometimes i think that forgetfulness was avirtue not really a bad thing , couldn't imagine her walking without no where she go ,or setting on weelchair without smiling cuz she forget that she cant walk
I think I might have alzeimers. I keep trying to get diagnosed but I keep forgetting when I made my appointment and which doctor I made the appointment with... Wait... What was this video about?
David Buck and Nicolas, you obviously do not have a parent or loved one with this terrible disease. However funny you may think the comment is, it only shows your lack of compassion and respect for those who have it and/or their caretaker (usually a family member). I too, have a loved one with Alzheimer's, and have watched her demise, and the toll it has taken on her daughter. While I do not condone Kyle's cursing, I can understand how he feels, and perhaps, Nicolas' comment pushed Kyle over the top, especially considering the devastation the disease has caused in his immediate family. Put yourself in the shoes of family members that have lost loved ones this way and see if you might not react differently. Just sayin!
Nicolas I think you might have cognitive ignorance and a severe lack of empathy. Fortunately, this is curable: educate yourself on the topic at hand and think before you speak.
Come on... that was a cheap shot... funny stuff can go to Reddit...

I think you may be overanalyising it was a rude comment and name calling is justified.
Humm!
I have mood changes because I'm probably on my period.
My best friend has this awful dieseae. I hope one day we find a cure.
Herbs.
If god existed, I would hate him for this. (Among other things...)
Rose NoHo do not blame God, it’s not his fault.
According to religion God made everything so it is

Thanks TED, very laconically delivered!
Keeping a person with this illness alive is extremely cruel
Nice Explanation!!
Can you please make one on cervical spondylosis? please..
Very good explanation has helped me to write my exam.
You just understand the things very clearly
Good job, fellow Singaporean! Is this the first TEDEd video made by a Singaporean?
I'm so worried about this kind of sick. And I don't know if I have already
This is an amazing explanation, Thank you.
If you enjoyed this video, you may also want to know that it's estimated that 45 million out of the 328 million people in the U.S. will have Alzheimers! That's 13.7%!!
Its so sad if one of your parents have this azhermer watch this
I promise you will die crying
(The greatest love) this movie shows what siblings can do to their mother.
I love the information, but I found the older animations to be less busy and distracting. Keep up the good work though.
when he said the fatty membrane surrounding the nerve cell, does he mean the myelin sheath?
super like. i have no idea about it and now it is clear like a glass
Perhaps the toxins used might be a clue, or even the chemicals that are being used more and more frequently in everyday life especially in agriculture. This sort of thing is getting out of hand and I wouldn't be surprised if the problem is coming from the outside.
Great video - thanks:)
