n the early and middle stages of Alzheimer's disease, people with the illness may be painfully aware of their intellectual failings and what is yet to come. At this stage and throughout the course of the illness, it's vitally important to support their mental and emotional well-being with the help of their doctor, social worker, or psychological counselor. Show them love, affection and warmth as they make their journey.

Since there are so few treatments for Alzheimer's disease, many of the available therapies attempt to improve the quality of patients' lives, keep them safe, and make caring for them easier.
