Medications And Impaired Memory: What Is Alzheimer's Disease And What Is Drug-Induced Dementia?

It is common for people to mistakenly think that Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease are the same. They are both memory illnesses, anyway. But it is important to take note that these are two different conditions, although Alzheimer's Disease is actually a common form of Dementia, a general term for memory loss. Then, there is a drug-induced dementia. Currently, experts stress that this condition is not Alzheimer's Disease.
Just recently, Dr. Gary Kohls discussed the connection between certain medications and mental conditions including memory loss, autism, bipolar disorder, and a lot more. According to him, numerous patients are not aware of the effects of psychiatric drugs to the brain cells. They are capable of poisoning the mitochondria, the lungs, and the heart of the cells; and this may lead to having different neurological and mental health illnesses. Global Research published Dr. Kohls' discussion.
He also pointed out the big problems in America's culture, government, and media that are "corporate-controlled". It was discussed that big pharmaceutical businesses obscure the truth about the causes and prevention of different disorders. They control the medical education of various health care providers from which doctors and patients get their information.
Meanwhile, Dr. Kohls said he was pleasantly surprised when he recently found an honest guide for dementia website. It was published on a website of Harvard University. According to the guide, there are more than 50 conditions that could mimic the early signs of dementia. Some could even cause the condition. This, in the midst of the common practice to just diagnose each dementia case as another Alzheimer's case. The guide contains a list of drugs that can cause dementia-like symptoms.
Dr. Kohls added that it is indeed tempting to just use the label of Alzheimer's dementia than learn about the possibility of malnutrition-related, vaccine-induced, and drug-induced dementia. But for him, what is important is the fact that the aforementioned 50+ conditions can be prevented and reversed.
In April this year, CNN reported that common over-the-counter drugs can cause adverse side effects, including harming the brain and causing a risk of dementia. As of writing, people are yet to learn more in-depth details regarding the connection between medications and mental conditions that include memory loss. But what matters is that many are already educated about the existence of drug-induced dementia and that it differs from Alzheimer's disease.
