Living With Alzheimer's Disease

Unfortunately, my grandpa has Alzheimer's disease, and living in a house for the moment with my grandmother, who seeks the same way as him.
It gradually worsened over the past 7 years and has just started to lose his health now. I find it very difficult to reconcile, as doctors have no answers for us, and we're playing a game horrible waiting: '(
I am really worried about my father so. It is a little distracted, and always has been, but I have this sickening feeling that it could eventually follow the same fate. Is it possible that it may take "with it" at all? My friend suggested he buy Brain Training on DS, and doing crossword puzzles and Sudoku to keep his mind stimulated. This will make a difference? And there is no way to verify if it will be affected by the disease?
Also, is there anyway I could get it in the future? I am only 16, but is it possible? Thank you, and you'll be mean, please do not bother responding because it is not a subject that should be joked. Much appreciated:)

It is hereditary, but you can extend it if you keep your mind very active, especially after the age of 40 years.

It is possible in some families. You'd be lucky if it is not hereditary in your family. Because Alzheimer's disease is horrible and very sad. It's aweful to see members of the family against her tears. Well, it depends.

in my book, it is hereditary .. Thus, while your still young try to avoid ... It really is an effect of aging, but you can delay ...

if I'm done. My mother had Alzheimer's disease and my father had dementia. I do crosswords too. I will ask my doctor, is there anything to prevent it.

Alzheimer's disease is not inherited, it is a form of dementia, which, of course, anyone can get, I agree with your friend, it is recommended to keep your brain stimulated by crossword puzzle every day, do not worry about your father, as we age we sometimes forget things, but as your nan and grandfather are both suffering from dementia you are probably worrying too much about your father and Silly noticing little things you would not normally, I'm sure he'll be fine, I'm a carer and care for many people with these problems, and have never known their parents to inherit this disease

My grandmother recently died at 89. She had Alzheimer's disease for about 10 years. It just got worse and worse over time. Yes, you can try to stimulate the brain, but there it will eventually stop working. Before she died, she forgot how to swallow, how to go to the bathroom, and I forgot how to speak. Overtime his whole body just shut down. There is a drug called accept that slows the progression of the disease. In addition, many of them can be a bit violent for the people close to them. Good luck and you'll be in my prayers, I know its scares, but brace yourself.
