Jason Karlawish, MD, Associate Director of the Penn Memory Center visited the Rochester, NY studios of Second Opinion for an in-depth discussion about one woman’s experience with her mother’ s decline into Alzheimer’s disease, and the signs that were missed or symptoms that were ignored.
The current standard of care or those with Alzheimer’s disease, Dr. Karlawish says, is “education and counseling of the patient and family; symptomatic treatment of the disease and longitudinal follow-up at least every six months to assess rate of progression.”
Second Opinion airs on public television stations through the country. You can view the episode here.
