At his office in University, Florida, Dr. Anoop K. Reddy has helped many residents of Tampa, Florida who suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease. A highly-respected neurologist, Dr. Reddy is familiar with the latest developments in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.
Alzheimer’s Disease, which is sometimes just called Alzheimer’s, is a progressive disease that adversely affects a person’s mental function. People with Alzheimer’s Disease suffer from increasing memory loss and gradually lose the ability to perform even basic tasks as the disease worsens. It’s the most common cause of dementia.
The term “Alzheimer’s Disease” is a tribute to Dr. Alois Alzheimer. Dr. Alzheimer discovered that the brain tissue of a patient who had died from an unusual form of mental illness was abnormal. The patient had exhibited language difficulties, memory loss, and irrational behaviors.

They can prescribe cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine, which are two medications that improve brain function. Doctors can also help patients create a supportive and safe environment for themselves and make lifestyle changes that will help.
