Living with Alzheimer's Without a Diagnosis

A new study recently found that of the 36 million people in the world who suffer from Alzheimer's and dementia, 28 million are living without a diagnosis.  Alzheimer's is a terrible disease, but it is one that can be detected in its early stages.  Like many diseases, when it is found at an early stage, doctors can prescribe medications and treatments that delay the memory loss and other harmful effects that accompany Alzheimer's.  So, no matter what your age, remember to see your doctor regularly and request a dementia or Alzheimer's screening.
