George Osborne and Ed Balls discuss the funding proposals set out by Osborne on the Andrew Marr show – that he will put an additional £2bn into frontline health services. He described it as a “down payment” which he was able to commit to because of the economy being strong. What are your thoughts about this? Have you heard confirmation that the economy is currently strong? You can watch the video here:
Frontotemporal
dementia is one of the less common forms of dementia. It is sometimes called Pick's disease or frontal lobe
dementia. The Alzheimer’s Society has produced a downloadable factsheet which
explains what it is, who gets it, and describes the symptoms. It also provides
details about how this type of dementia is diagnosed and the treatment and care available.
We should not dismiss people’s delusions and hallucinations as merely symptoms of a malaise. A new report by the British Psychological Society argues that they can be understood as much as can other conditions like anxiety and depression. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and other treatments, should be made available for people with psychosis and bipolar disorder.
New research is suggesting that drinking 3-5 cups of
coffee per day may reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. This may be due to the
antioxidants present in coffee. However, don't put the flags out just yet.
According to the Society's Research Officer Jess Smith, "... studies in
people show mixed results - more research and clinical trials are needed to see
if positive effects occur in people over the long term."
