Extractions: open 24/7 When a friend or family member has Alzheimer's disease, you may feel upset, confused, or scared. Alzheimer's can be puzzling because a person who has it often doesn't look sick. But when you spend time with people with Alzheimer's you know that something very serious is wrong. They may forget things, ask the same questions over and over, or have trouble even finding the right words for things. Some people with Alzheimer's may cry, become angry very easily, or behave in ways that embarrass you. Sometimes the person may not remember who you are even if it is someone like a grandparent who knows you very well. People with Alzheimer's disease are not acting like this to be mean or because they don't care about you anymore. Changes deep inside their brains are destroying the centers that control remembering, thinking, and feeling. They are losing their ability to make sense out of the world. This page provides resources to help you learn about Alzheimer's disease and understand how it affects you. It's important to know that you are not alone. Alzheimer's changes the lives of everyone it touches. For more information, here are some helpful websites:
