Portraits of Patients: "William"
"When William was admitted to the Alzheimer's unit, nobody thought he'd return home. They were wrong.
William's life was completely disrupted by Alzheimer's disease (AD). Although he had a master's degree in science, he'd stopped talking—and started threatening his wife. His abusive behavior continued when he was admitted to an AD unit.
When Dr. Ghooray, a neurologist, saw the 79-year- old man, his diagnosis was moderately severe AD. Along with William's behavioral problems, he was almost entirely unable to care for himself. Dr. Ghooray started EXELON therapy.
The change in William was remarkable. After a year of EXELON therapy, Dr. Ghooray now stages his disease as mild and has discontinued other medication that William was taking to control his behavior.
Most impressive, though, was William's release from the nursing home. He simply no longer belonged there. Back home, his wife sees him getting better every day. She not only enjoys being able to leave him home alone while she shops—but also appreciates his help with the housework!..."
