Young-joo Jung is shocked by the diagnosis of dementia in the early 81-year-old until Guanwasa five years ago when she took her depression medication (Miwase)
Jung Young-joo was shocked by her father's early diagnosis of dementia.
SBS 'My Ugly Baby', which aired on the 13th, showed Jeong Young-joo's father and daughter visiting the hospital for a medical examination.
On this day, Jung Young-joo visited the hospital to receive a medical examination with her father's health concerns. Jung Young-joo said "My father is not good at remembering one-off. He took nutritional supplements in the middle of his meal, and he said, "He's going to take them again after he's done eating." He said, "He can't get up at once while lying down."
My father's memory has gradually deteriorated since Guanwasa five years ago, and he has been taking depressive drugs for 38 years. My father said "Life is hard. Depression is a bad disease.'
Since then, the father has conducted a precise cognitive test and a motor ability and behavior test. At that time, Jung Young-joo also visited the internal medicine department. Jung Young-joo is living as an actor with a chronic disease, so he has a disc, cervical, and shoulder pain"The new one is taking menopausal medication. He said he has been taking it since hysterectomy.
He had surgery for adenomyopathy of the uterus six years ago. The pain was too much"After the surgery, the adenomyopathy of uterus was well resolved, but menopausal symptoms appeared and I took medicine." Jeong Young-joo, who underwent surgery at the age of 48, conducted osteoporosis tests that come from menopausal women three years earlier than average. My mother didn't tell me when she had surgery. I thought I was going to be hospitalized due to overwork"He recalled "In the meantime, he was filming as he was."
After the test, Jung Young-joo's test results were first disclosed, and the specialist said, `There is nothing to worry about, but I think you will be worried about osteoporosis because of menopause, but your bones are too healthy. It's 100 points."
Then, the father's test results were released, and the specialist said "Dad is also strong in bones. It's 100 points,' he said, making his father and daughter laugh. Then "Diabetes is being treated now, but your fasting blood sugar is 160 points, which is a little high. It also has poor kidney function. It doesn't matter until 60 points, but it's 53. Blood sugar control is necessary"The reason why diabetes should be treated is that diabetes is a risk factor for heart and cerebrovascular..." he said, adding that there is a risk of complications from diabetes.
As a result of the cognitive test, the attention result was 91 out of 100 points and the speech function result was 93 points. However, they lack space-time, execution, and memory.
As for the reason for the memory loss, the specialist said "Where memory is stored, 'Hama', the medial temporal lobe is suspected of atrophy, and if it worsens, the hole may be pierced. It's not that bad yet, but there's a contraction."
Then "It is not mid-term or late, but it can be said that it is the early stage of dementia, where problems begin due to cognitive impairment."Your father has risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure, so if you don't take care of it, it can even lead to vascular dementia"Management is the most important time," he said.
My father took the depression medication because of a panic disorder. Jung Young-joo asked "Can I take depression medicine together to treat dementia?" and a specialist asked "You must manage depression." You have to take your medicine. If you are depressed or have no power in your mind, you will not be motivated even if you try to remember anything to the end. Maintaining smoking cessation is also essential, he said, explaining how to manage dementia.
