Could It Be Dementia? Neuropsychologist Dr. Kenneth Freundlich with tips on recognizing the signs and getting a diagnosis Although an isolated episode of forgetfulness is hardly reason to call the doctor, millions of Americans are understandably concerned when they see signs of dementia, either in themselves or in a loved one. “The truth is that dementia is widespread among seniors, and its effects can be devastating,” says Dr. Kenneth Freundlich, a neuropsychologist with Morris Psychological Group. According to the latest government estimates, about 3.4 million Americans age 71 and older – one in seven – have some type of dementia. Dr. Freundlich 10 F E B RUARY 2 015

Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells, which inhibits the cells’ ability to communicate with one another and interferes with brain functioning: thinking and reasoning as well as emotions and behavior. Dementia is not a disease but a set of symptoms that are caused by a group of disorders affecting the brain, Dr. Freundlich explains. Dementia symptoms include decreased intellectual functioning that interferes with normal life functions (such as memory, language, perception, judgment or reasoning, and relationships), plus personality changes and a loss of emotional and behavioral control. But while memory loss is a common

“Dementia can be caused by a few different conditions, many of which are fatal,” says Dr. Freundlich. But whatever the cause, it is important to get diagnosed as soon as possible, he says. “Many dementias are progressive – they start out slowly and gradually get worse – and a clinical diagnosis is key to identifying the underlying condition and getting the most from the available treatments.”

points out that changes in memory are normal and to be expected. We all become forgetful. But while it is common in elderly individuals, dementia is not a normal part of the aging process – many people live to a ripe old age without any symptoms – nor is it something to ignore.

symptom of dementia, it’s not the only one. “We diagnose dementia when there is significant cognitive impairment that interferes with independence in everyday activities,” Dr. Freundlich explains. Moreover, while dementia is certainly associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other serious conditions, it also can be caused by reactions to medications, endocrine and metabolic problems, nutritional deficiencies, infections, and heart and lung problems. In addition, other treatable conditions, such as depression or alcoholism can mimic dementia.
To further complicate matters, a condition known as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) presents as a more focused memory impairment and frequently does not resolve itself. According to Dr. Freundlich, MCI is often a precursor to more serious cognitive impairment and is generally seen as an intermediate stage between normal functioning and dementia.
Is It Alzheimer’s? Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for roughly 50 to 60 percent of cases. It’s caused by the formation of plaques (deposits of a type of protein) and tangles (twisted strands of another protein), which damage and kill

nerve cells in the brain. In AD, memory loss is usually the first symptom – difficulty remembering recent conversations, names or events – along with apathy and depression. Later on, patients show communication difficulties, impaired judgment, disorientation, confusion, behavior changes and physical difficulties (in speaking and swallowing, for example). Accounting for about 10 percent of dementia cases, vascular dementia is caused by brain injuries from cerebrovascular disease, a stroke or other problems with vascular function, such as high blood pressure (hypertension) and blood vessel blockage. In some cases, impaired judgment, decisionmaking, planning or organizing will be the initial symptom (memory www.vall ey rev ue .co m
loss and personality changes can come later). Further down the list of dementia-causing disorders are Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and several other rare conditions. In many cases, there is more than one condition contributing to dementia (for example, vascular dementia can occur alongside AD). This is known as “mixed dementia.”
Diagnosis is key A doctor can diagnose dementia with many methods, including the patient’s medical and family history, a physical exam, neurological evaluations, and imaging tests (CT scans, MRIs and PET scans). Additionally, cognitive testing is essential to fully evaluate the nature of the dementia. If dementia is identified, the doctor can prescribe treatments to reduce F E B RUARY 2 015

Wellness tips for body, mind and heart
(Family Features) Each day offers new opportunities to make choices that impact your health and overall wellness. Though hectic schedules can cause many of us to let healthy habits fall to the wayside, it is important that we give our bodies the attention and care they deserve. Consider these small steps to gradually improve your whole body and heart health, which can help you enjoy a happier, longer life:
Strike a balance. Take a simpler approach to the traditional idea of “dieting.� Balance calories in versus calories out with a combination of good food choices, such as fruits, 36 F E B RUARY 2 015
vegetables and whole grains, and regular exercise, such as walking or hiking. Incorporate low-calorie, naturally fat-free foods into your diet, such as new Dole Red Grapefruit Sunrise Fruit Bowls, which bring all-natural fruit together with 100 percent juice. They are a great way to start the day or just enjoy as a delicious snack. Grapefruit naturally offers a plentiful source of nutrients, including T h E VA L L EY R E V UE
phosphorus, potassium and vitamins A and C.

Watch the middle. According to the Mayo Clinic, that extra weight you carry around the mid-section can cause serious health problems, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and certain cancers. Work to keep this common problem area in check by reducing caloric intake and increasing physical activity.
Skip the stress. While a little stress is part of being human, too much can be taxing on the heart. Find activities that engage your mind and naturally relieve stress such as knitting, crafting or working on a puzzle.
Dine in the a.m. Don’t let a rushed morning routine get in the way of enjoying a heart-healthy breakfast. A complete morning meal includes a combination of whole grains, protein, and fruits or vegetables. For a convenient, on-the-go option, throw an individually-sealed cup of Dole Red Grapefruit Sunrise in your laptop bag or purse. Each cup contains peakof-ripeness, wholesome, peeled grapefruit and allows www.vall ey rev ue .co m
you to enjoy grapefruit all year around. Plus, they’re gluten free, contain no GMOs (genetically modified or engineered ingredients) or artificial sweeteners, and feature BPA-free packaging.
Drink more water. For your body to function properly, it needs the right amount of hydration. According to the Institute of Medicine, the average required intake for a male is about 13 cups, while a female requires about 9 cups. Switch out sodas and sugary drinks with water to reap its benefits, and to shave off extra “empty” calories that may contribute to weight gain.
Get routine exams. A yearly doctor’s examination keeps you more informed of your body’s ever-changing status, and it keeps your health care provider in the loop, too. Educate yourself and understand the import numbers for your heart, including blood pressure, cholesterol and triglycerides. A happy life starts with the right mindset and a few easy routines.

he warm mineral waters of Berkeley Springs have drawn visitors over the centuries from Native Americans to colonial notables like George Washington to today's travelers looking for stress relief and a quirky respite from daily routine. The waters flow at a constant 74 degrees in a small state park in the heart of the historic town. They are freely available for the taking from a public tap or for wading in the largest open display of spring waters in the Blue Ridge. A thriving spa community has grown up around the springs. Berkeley Springs boasts three times as many massage therapists as lawyers with a menu of more than 50 cutting edge spa treatments available daily to 21st century health seekers. Wander charming and peaceful streets in the National Historic District within the 1776 town boundaries around the springs and indulge in all the pleasures of a nationally recognized art town from distinctive shops, galleries and antique malls to fine dining restaurants. Whether you are captivated by the vintage movie house or the Victorian castle on a hill overlooking the town or the Sunday Farmers Market, there is no mistaking Berkeley Springs for someplace else. It's an easy drive or motorcycle ride into the West Virginia mountain wilderness that surrounds the town. There you can find spectacular views and outdoor fun including golf, hiking, biking, hunting and swimming in season. With year 'round festivals that celebrate everything from water to apple butter to quilts, something is always happening. Lace curtains or log cabins, in town or along a forested ridge, with or without pets, there's a perfect place for everyone at a price you can afford. T h e VA L L EY r e v ue
