00:00It is my duty to protect you as my patient, so don't worry, you can expect that no one else will know about this.
00:16But as I discussed with you earlier, the test showed you have moderate dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
00:26Do I still have hope that my condition will get better?
00:30Alzheimer's disease is complex. It is unlikely that there is a medicine or intervention that was successfully treated.
00:39Most medicines available work best for people at early stages, but none of the medications available at this time will cure the disease.
00:51What should I do, Doc? I have a company that is being run by important people in my life. They are counting on me.
01:04Alzheimer's is a neurodegenerative disease, meaning it attacks the brain and it reduces cognitive function and it cannot be repaired.
01:17I suggest that you be open to your family so that you can prepare them.
01:27I need to do what I should do first before I confess to them.
01:34But for now, no one can know about my condition.
01:41I understand. You can count on me.
