Risk Factors for Memory Loss Alzheimer's Disease, Diagnosis & Treatment

Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m Pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health Systems, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations. Today Brad White and Paul White are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guest is, Dr. Ryan Drake, Neurologist at Neurocare Center and Principal Investigator at Neuroscience Research Center. Dr. Drake is board certified in neurology, neuromuscular medicine, and electrodiagnostic medicine.

Early intervention is critical so it is important that we learn how to recognize signs and symptoms that we should bring to our doctor’s attention.

Dementia is a general term for memory loss and other cognitive abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases and today more than 6 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s kills more than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined, with deaths from Alzheimer’s increasing 145% since the year 2000. While Alzheimer’s is a familiar term, more than 80% of Americans know little about or are not familiar with mild cognitive impairment, which can be an early stage of Alzheimer’s.

We’d like to remind our listeners that today’s program is also available on our podcast which can be downloaded from the app store on your mobile phone. Look for Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy and you can listen to any of our programs, anytime.
