Scientists have found the cause of Alzheimer's disease

Dementia can progress in situations of increased stress.

For a long time, the scientific world has been studying the causes of Alzheimer's disease. The most diverse assumptions are made, but they did not come close to understanding what causes dementia. This did not make it possible to correctly and timely prescribe treatment, stopping the manifestations of the disease at an early stage.

An unexpected conclusion was made by Australian scientists from Curtin University's Institute for Medical Innovation. They linked the onset of Alzheimer's disease with long-term stress.

In their conclusions, the researchers claim that it is stress that keeps the human neuroendocrine system in constant tension. It regulates digestion, immunity, mood and energy.

It is also responsible for the production of the hormone cortisol, which is the body's response to stressful situations. However, with constant increased stress, a malfunction occurs in the system and cortisol begins to be produced in much greater quantities than is necessary.

And then the body begins to block it in other ways, which cause the development of dementia.

In fact, the brain simply begins to erase from memory memories that can cause painful sensations.
