What is a Transaction?

Alzheimer’s disease is a disorder that occurs as a result of damage to the brain over time and cell loss. This disease manifests itself with symptoms such as memory loss, impaired thinking and decision-making skills, and behavioral changes. It is a progressive disease and can affect a person’s daily life activities over time.

How is it done?

At our clinic in Cigli, Izmir, patients with Alzheimer’s symptoms undergo a comprehensive examination. Our doctors perform neuropsychological tests and use brain scans (MRI or PET) to detect early signs of the disease. These methods show which areas of the brain have been damaged and help to make the correct diagnosis. Once diagnosed, medication is prescribed to relieve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.

• Memory Loss Forgetting everyday events or things that happened in the recent past.
• Thinking and Planning Difficulties: Problems focusing and making decisions, even on simple tasks.
• Speaking and Writing Difficulties: Difficulty finding words, difficulty forming sentences.
• Difficulty with daily activities: Difficulty with ordinary tasks such as shopping and cooking.
• Behavior Changes: Restlessness, anxiety or marked changes in personality.
