According to the World AlzheimerReport 2015, for 2015, we estimate worldwide over 9.9 million new cases of
dementia per year, that is, one new case every 3.2 seconds. This new estimate
is almost 30% higher than that referring to 2010 and contained in the report
published by the World Health Organization in 2012 entitled "Dementia: a
public health priority". The regional distribution of new dementia cases
is 4.9 million (49% of the total) in Asia, 2.5 million (25%) in Europe, 1.7
million (18%) in the Americas, and 0.8 million (8%) in Africa. Compared to our
2012 estimates, these values indicate a higher proportion of new cases in
Asia, the Americas and Africa, while the proportion of cases in Europe has
decreased.
The drama of senile dementia is a
touching and, sadly, real social and cinematic theme. In 2015 Julianne Moore
also won the Oscar for Still Alice, a film about a still young woman who
discovers she has Alzheimer's.
The cinema underlines this
dramatic event that changes the life of both the patient and his family. It is
difficult to accept that a loved one reaches the point of not recognizing a
child, a relative and that his or her history and past are mercilessly erased
in a moment of life's journey are the memories that help the elderly to move
forward.
Depression as the first sign ofsenile dementia
“Depression can be a very common
ailment in the elderly and can have various characteristics. Recent studies
have also shown that depression in the elderly can be a warning sign of
Alzhemeir and dementia. Mood disorders for elderly people can arise both as a
result of relapses subsequent to other depressive episodes experienced in the
course of one's life but can also occur for the first time following a
situation of strong stress such as a physical illness or a particularly
heartfelt mourning. "
