This week’s edition of the Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call with Rick Moore is a discussion about Alzheimer’s – what it is, how to catch it, and what to expect in those that have it. Sue Friedman is the President of the Central and Western Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, and joins Rick in the studio to answer questions about the disease. Why does it occur? How can you distinguish normal age-related memory loss from more serioius concerns such as Alzheimer’s? A mother also relates her experiences dealing with dementia, which both her parents suffered from.
For more information about the disease, you can visit the National Alzheimer’s Association’s website, or the website for the local chapter for Central Virginia. You can also call 1-800-272-3900 to be connected to the National hotline for the Alzheimer’s Association.
