Article Evaluation


 * Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Is there anything that distracted you? yes, everything is relevant. The picture on far right of the page.
 * Is any information out of date? Is anything missing that could be added? The development about social work is there, but not any advancements. Very outdated information.
 * What else could be improved? Find better sources in academic journals.
 * Is the article neutral? Are there any claims that appear heavily biased toward a particular position? It mentions that the profession is interdisciplinary
 * Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Most of the information is the history of how social work started.


 * Check a few citations. Do the links work? Does the source support the claims in the article?
 * Is each fact referenced with an appropriate, reliable reference? Where does the information come from? Are these neutral sources? If biased, is that bias noted?

Alzheimer's disease

As the disease advances, symptoms can include problems with language, intellectual deterioration, disorientation(including easily getting lost),personality disorder, loss of motivation, not managing self care, and behavioural issues.

Other risk factors include a history of head injuries, depression, hypertension, first order relatives, or person with Down's Syndrome disease is more likely to develop AD.

No treatments stop or reverse its progression, though some may temporarily improve symptoms.Affected people increasingly rely on others for assistance, often placing a burden on the caregiver; the pressures can include social, psychological, physical, and economic elements. '''According to Julie Tackenberg, "Alzheimer's disease isn't curable, but many treatments may temporarily improve Mr. Allen's quality of life and make caring for him easier. Such treatments center on physical activity, diet modifications, drug therapy, safety measures, and stress reduction." (p.77)'''
