According to the Spanish Society of Neurology, in 2019 no less than 800,000 people suffered from Alzheimer's in Spain, not only the main cause of dementia worldwide but also the disease that causes the most disability in older people in Spain.
Alzheimer's is a terrible disease that requires enormous human effort, both for specialized health workers and for the families of these people. Assuming that, little by little, you are forgetting everything until you don't even know who you are causes overwhelming emotional exhaustion. That is why people with Alzheimer's must have special care. Even their caregivers should also have help outside the home to cope in some cases.
The Clínica Universidad de Navarra offers some useful advice on its website if a relative of yours has Alzheimer's. We have selected seven of them so that they can help you as much as possible. However, if the situation becomes untenable, it will be appropriate to contact your health center or psychological therapists.
