In this episode, we host Dr. Georges Karam, Founder of Minerva Adult Care and President of the Alzheimer’s Association Lebanon, for an in-depth conversation about Alzheimer’s disease and the realities surrounding memory loss and aging.
Together, we explore the early signs and symptoms of Alzheimer’s, the factors that may increase the risk of developing the disease, and the treatment options currently available to help patients maintain their quality of life. Dr. Karam also addresses common misconceptions, explaining why forgetfulness does not always mean Alzheimer’s and discussing conditions that are sometimes mistaken for dementia, leading to false or delayed diagnoses.
The conversation also highlights the importance of early detection, raising awareness, and providing emotional and practical support for people living with Alzheimer’s and their families. Dr. Karam shares valuable advice for caregivers and loved ones, offering guidance on how to communicate, provide support, and create a more compassionate environment for those affected by the disease.
This episode aims to provide reliable information, challenge stigma, and help families better understand one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases affecting older adults today.
