How to Search For Information You Need
In general, finding information free on search engines requires a lot of patience and is time consuming. Free websites most likely provide only limited information if you are searching for something important. The best choice is to buy it because bought information is usually written by specialists and is copyrighted. [August 13, 2008 10:25:46 am] By Chic Ngo
How to Overcome Fear of Alzheimer's Disease
By J J Seymour
In the US, senior citizens fear Alzheimer's Disease above all else. Research shows that getting Alzheimer's is the biggest worry among US residents older than 55 years. Even cancer, which is perhaps the most feared affliction in the world, is not as feared as Alzheimer's by this demographic. Something about the idea of losing one's identity to dementia seems to terrify people even more than the thought of physical death. Among many of the elderly (and even among some younger individuals) the mere thought of this wasting illness of the mind is enough to send one into a state of complete panic. Unfortunately, the phobia of diseases that affect the brain can cloud people's minds, too. It, too, can interfere with normal living. Isn't there a way to keep one's fears under control, and enjoy one's sanity while one still can? Is there a system of thought that can help with fears?
Worry Solves Nothing
Unfortunately, it does little good to worry about something that one cannot do anything about. Plus, worry tends not to solve problems; it just makes the person who is worrying imagine the problem in the same way over and over again. The best you can do to prevent the onset of memory loss is to keep the mind sharp. Occupy your thoughts with challenging puzzles that encourage the development of memory (of course, if you have a hereditary predisposition towards Alzheimer's, your chances of getting it are going to be much higher than those of someone who doesn't have that predisposition, no matter what you do). In fact, worrying about losing your memory takes up valuable time--time that would be better devoted to actually exercising your brain and thus potentially preventing memory loss.
Be Pro-active: Don't Fear Alzheimer's Disease
People who severely troubled by the possibility of becoming afflicted with Alzheimer's can attend counseling sessions. These sessions explain the illness, and can help people adjust emotionally to the process of aging. Counseling is especially helpful to those who stand a high chance of suffering from the condition in the future, or for those who face the prospect of caring for someone with the condition. However, what if you want more than just coping strategies and information? What if, in addition to understanding the illness, you want to be able to stop worrying about it for good, and lead an independent, mentally active life while you still can?
NLP Can Help Put Away Your Fears
A form of therapy that combines the NLP and hypnotherapy techniques pioneered by American psychologist Milton Erikson can provide effective, fast results. After just a few sessions of NLP therapy, you'll be able to significantly curtail your unnecessary worries.
When you worry about something you can't do anything about, your worry typically takes the form of the same sequence of thoughts, the same sequence of mental images. That is why unproductive worry is so deadly dull. NLP works by taking advantage of the monotony of worry. The NLP therapist will teach you to recognize negative thought patterns. The therapist will then teach you how to stop those thought patterns in their tracks, using hypnosis and conditioning. Although NLP can't stop the onset of dementia, a few NLP sessions can assure that you won't fear Alzheimer's again, not when there's nothing you can do about it.
