(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia which indicates a decline in mental ability including memory loss. It also causes problems in memory, thinking and behaviour, making daily tasks difficult to manage.
Dr Hamsa Baravi, specialist neurology, KIMS Oman Hospital, said, 'The problems with memory loss, communication, orientation and reasoning become severe and the person affected needs day-to-day support to perform his/her daily tasks. Some people may even develop delusions or hallucinations. Physically, many of them become frail and find it difficult to eat or walk.'
Dr Hamsa further adds that currently, there is no cure or Alzheimer's, but we can enable a person to live with the condition through drug and non-drug care, support and activities. Alzheimer's generally affects people over 65 years of age and women are more likely to get affected.
The Department of Neurology at KIMS Oman Hospital also treats and manages diseases and conditions like cerebrovascular accidents, dementia, back pain, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, movement disorders and others.
