Alzheimer’s Disease is one of the
most devastating illnesses confronted by the patients and their families.
Since there is no cure and only limited treatment options, it is also very
frustrating for the treating physicians. However, there is very much a
physician can do in helping patients and their families to cope with the
illness as they go through the various stages of Alzheimer’s Disease.
Empathy, support, education and referral to appropriate resources can
improve the patients’ and their families’ experience of the illness.
