The lack of time of the conducted research is due to the fact older men and women are living longer to reach the age where AD will eventually start its course. Because of this disease, people who are diagnosed with it, suffer not only own depressions, but stereotypical/ageism discrimination. Patients are automatically stereotyped and labeled because such little information is available to people who think that they will loose all cognitive abilities in a matter of minutes. They aren't treated the same, and in institutions like nursing homes and assisted living are forgotten about, not just by their families, but by the medical help too.
It's given that family members are more educated than the medical aides in a nursing home, because a family would want to know symptoms, why this was happening, where it came from, if it's hereditary, and what the outcomes are going to be. More specifically, family members are interested in what treatments are available, and what they can do individually to keep cognition fresh in the patient's minds. For employees who are often switched from medical floors to different ones with patients affected by many diseases, Alzheimer's disease is not focused on during a nurse's/aide's orientation. Because of the lack of orientation, AD patients specifically suffer major discriminations and abuse due to lack of orientation intelligence. In an institution where a resident should feel safe and labeled free, is often the worst home to live in. .
And the latter provokes a problem: people are living longer, and are worried that they are going to be affected by it. "An overwhelming number of Americans, 95%, say AD is a serious problem facing our nation. A majority, 57%, indicate that they are personally concerned about getting the disease, and increase of ten percentage points from a decade ago, according to a new poll 68% believes it's important for there to be a major increase in the funding allocated to finding effective treatments- Scientific studies based on population growth are determining that a raise in people afflicted with AD will grow by 350% by the mid-century.
