EARLY DISEASE DETECTION

1. Your symptoms maybe
   The symptoms that you are worried about is probably caused by a reversible condition. For example, a person with Alzheimer’s can also have dementia and treatments. A diagnosis of reversible conditions can help reduce symptoms and improve brain function.
2. It could be treated.
   Other causes of cognitive decline may not be reversed, but they could be treated. Proper treatments can help slow down the rate of further decline.
3. Undergoing treatments as soon as possible.
   Starting treatments early in a disease process is most effective in treating persons with Alzheimer’s and dementia diseases. Obtaining an early and accurate diagnosis will be harder, once more effective treatments will become available.
4. Accurate diagnoses can be easily obtained in the earlier stages of the disease.
   It is more accurate to obtain a diagnosis when the person is still capable of answering questions and reporting such concerns, or when observers can still remember the first appearance of the symptoms. It could be difficult to obtain an accurate diagnosis once the brain is severely affected.
5. Itgives empowerment.
   Early disease detection gives the person the ability to participate in his or her own financial, legal, and long-term care plans and to relay his or her wishes to family members.

6. You can prioritizewhat is important to you.
   Earlier diagnosis allows the person to consider how they spend their time. It could help them focus on the things that matter to them, such as completing their life goals, recording family history, traveling, and making memories with their family while they are still capable.
7. Making the best choices.
   The earlier a disease can be diagnosed, the better it can help prevent making unwise choices.
8. 8. Using available resources.
   Early support groups help patients get diagnosed early in the disease process. They formulate strategies and learn tips to cope with and manage the symptoms of the disease.
9. Participating in research studies.
   Individuals diagnosed early have the opportunity to participate in clinical trials or be an advocate for improved care and opportunities.
10. You can broaden understanding of the individuals about the disease.
    Detecting disease in the early stages can help reduce the negative things associated with the disease. Learning to associate the disease with people may help them broaden their understanding of the disease.
11. It will be beneficial for your family.
    Diagnosing a disease early can reduce stress and feelings of burden and regret in your family. It would give them more opportunities to learn about the disease, develop plans for the future, and expect realistic situations.
12. It will be beneficial for you, too.
    Early detection allows the individual and his or her family to preserve the person’s self-esteem throughout the medication process.

Early disease detection has these advantages to promote a higher quality of life for the person affected. It reduces stress and burden for the family and may help them treasure the time they are spending together and prepare for the future.
