Not directly MS Windows XP, but will try here: Purchased MS Office Student & Teacher Edition 2003 way back when and loaded it onto my PC -- only because for those occasions when needing to access a Word doc (I use WordPerfect) received from someone; have used PowerPoint a couple of times, but that's the extent of it.
Alzheimerâs disease, is it a mental illness? Alzheimerâs disease is formally recognized as a mental illness. The disease and its symptoms are outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR), which is the main tool used to diagnose mental illnesses such as Schizophrenia and Borderline Personality Disorder.
We hear that all the time here at the Fisher Center for Alzheimerâs Research Foundation. Itâs a common question, and doctors can sometimes contribute to the confusion. It may be that physicians prefer to use the word âdementiaâ because the term Alzheimerâs can sound more overwhelming and frightening. But, the terms Alzheimerâs disease and dementia may mean two very different things. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke defines dementia as: ââ¦ [A] word for a group of symptoms caused by disorders that affect the brain. It is not a specific disease.
