Common Symptoms of Menopause
Menopause is defined as when a woman's periods have completely stopped for 12 consecutive months, she can no longer get pregnant naturally, and it usually occurs between ages 45-55. Common symptoms of menopause include mood swings, insomnia, hot flashes, night sweats, weight gain, brain fog, low sex drive, painful sex, and joint pain. These symptoms are caused by fluctuating hormone levels during menopause, especially declining estrogen levels. Natural remedies can help alleviate menopause symptoms and it is recommended to get hormone level testing and medical checkups.
Social - Elderly
The number of Canadians with Alzheimer's disease is projected to more than double to over three quarters of a million by 2031, up from an estimated 450,000 currently affected. One in 13 people aged 65 or older and nearly one in three aged 85 or older have Alzheimer's disease according to current statistics. Individuals with Alzheimer's disease are at risk of social isolation, loss of personhood, and being taken advantage of due to their vulnerable state.

Hormones, sex and the brain
Hormones play a significant role in human development, behavior, and identity. Prenatal hormones determine aspects like sex, sexuality, gender, demeanor, and sensitivity. The presence or absence of hormones like testosterone and mullerian inhibiting substance during fetal development masculinize or feminize a developing fetus. Later hormone levels also influence characteristics like aggression, dominance, and response to stress and pain. Abnormal hormone levels during development can result in intersex conditions or differences in gender identity and orientation. Hormone treatments later in life are also able to further masculinize or feminize aspects of the body and mind.

Men and depression
Depression can have wide-ranging impacts on those suffering from it and their families. It affects over 121 million people worldwide and is a leading cause of disability. Men often present with different symptoms than women, such as irritability rather than sadness, and are frequently undiagnosed. Having a parent with depression can negatively influence children's development and increase their risk of mental health issues. It also commonly damages relationships and increases conflict between family members. Seeking treatment through medication and counseling can help address depression, as can social support from loved ones.
Alzheimers Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disease that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It accounts for 60-70% of dementia cases. The disease is characterized by amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain that damage neurons and disrupt communication between brain cells. There are two main types - early-onset Alzheimer's affects those aged 30-60 and is rare, while late-onset Alzheimer's is more common in those aged 60 and older. As the disease progresses, symptoms worsen from mild memory loss to difficulties with language, orientation, mood, motivation, self-care, and behavior. Eventually, patients withdraw from social life due to severe cognitive impairment.

The Many Faces of Dementia
In honor of National Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, let’s take a look at another debilitating cognitve affliction – dementia.
All About Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a condition that leads to loss of cognitive abilities and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States. It causes memory loss, difficulty completing familiar tasks, and changes in personality and judgment. Alzheimer's develops as brain cells die and plaque builds up in the brain, and risks include lack of exercise, high blood pressure, obesity, and smoking. Doctors diagnose Alzheimer's by assessing a person's overall health and medical history, and conducting tests of memory, problem solving, and language ability as well as medical tests and brain scans to identify the cause and rule out other possibilities.

With conventional allopathic medicine, when we present our symptoms to our doctors we are hoping for a solution. What we often receive is a diagnosis accompanied by a prescription to relieve our symptoms, and we are sent home. However, symptoms are the body’s way of telling us that something is out of balance; similar to the warning light that pops up on the dashboard of our cars when something is wrong.
Movement, Mood and Memory
The document discusses the relationship between exercise, mood disorders like depression, and Alzheimer's disease. It provides information on the basics of mood disorders and Alzheimer's, statistics on prevalence, and modifiable risk factors like exercise. Regular exercise is associated with reduced risk of depression by impacting psychology, neurogenesis, and neurochemistry. Exercise also delays the onset and reduces the risk of Alzheimer's possibly by influencing conditions like hypertension, obesity, and diabetes that are themselves risk factors.
Men's health word
This document discusses Alzheimer's disease, including what it is, how it works, its progression and stages, who can get it, symptoms, causes, treatments, its impact on men's health, and recommendations. Alzheimer's slows connections between brain cells and causes plaques and tangles that build up and damage cells. It typically begins around age 60 and risk rises with age. While the exact cause is unknown, factors like age, genetics, health conditions increase risk. There are some treatments but no cure currently. Men are twice as likely to get Alzheimer's than women.

Springhill Care Group provides free Alzheimer's training in all 50 US states to support family caregivers. A survey found that Americans fear Alzheimer's disease more than any other life-threatening illness such as cancer or heart disease. Over 60% of Americans feel unprepared to care for a loved one with Alzheimer's and worry about burdening others or losing their memory of family and life. The survey highlights the need for more support and education for caregivers of those diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
Alzheimers 101for families
This document provides information about Alzheimer's disease and dementia. It discusses key facts such as prevalence, causes, stages of Alzheimer's, and effects on the brain. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of irreversible dementia. It progresses through early, middle, and late stages as brain cells deteriorate. Providing a predictable routine, adapted activities, and positive communication can help reduce fear and confusion for those with Alzheimer's or dementia.
Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, responsible for 50-70% of cases. It presents with a decline in cognitive abilities such as memory loss and impaired judgment. Over 44 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's or a related dementia, including over 5 million Americans. Risk factors include advanced age, family history, and head trauma. While there is no cure, current treatments can temporarily slow worsening symptoms and improve quality of life. Management focuses on maintaining function and quality of life through monitoring, treatments, and support for patients and their families.
Depression in the workplace
The document discusses depression, including its prevalence, symptoms, causes, types, and treatment options. Some key points include:
- Depression affects 10-15% of people with diabetes and 35-45% of heart attack patients.
- Symptoms include persistent sadness, changes in appetite and sleep, loss of energy, poor concentration, and thoughts of death.
- Causes can include genetics, environmental stressors, physical illnesses, and personality traits.
