i largely lost my sense of smell a few years ago. i also recently learned i have increased risk of developing #alzheimers. i suffer major mental health conditions & i have had extreme exhaustion for a year with other physical symptoms. as a result i struggle to live a healthy life which makes my risk greater.
i have given up on mainstream mentalhealth services. they only stick plasters & discharged me after 8-9 months of #CBT. & i only got that after 15 yrs of constant begging for help. they're in the business of keeping us sick so #BigPharma can profit of us & keep us docile.

Losing your sense of smell might signal Alzheimer’s far earlier than expected. Scientists found that immune cells in the brain actively destroy smell-related nerve fibers after detecting abnormal signals on their surfaces. This damage begins in early stages of the disease, well before cognitive decline. The discovery could help identify at-risk patients sooner and improve treatment timing.

This concise briefing highlights a meaningful link between olfactory decline and neurodegenerative risk, underscoring implications for assessment and early identification within mental health practice. For clinicians across disciplines such as psychology, social work, and psychiatry, the finding provides a potential observational cue to consider when evaluating cognitive risk factors and functioning, particularly in aging clients. Emphasis on early neural changes offers a reminder to integrate neurobiological alerts with psychosocial context during case formulation.

This brief overview holds relevance for mental health professionals by highlighting the multifactorial nature of Alzheimer’s disease and the shift toward integrated, systems-based approaches. The emphasis on combining biological, behavioral, and lifestyle factors to address cognitive decline resonates with holistic care models used in practice, encouraging collaboration across disciplines and consideration of comorbid health influences in clients’ mental well-being.

This brief highlights how a biochemical factor linked to hydrogen sulfide production in the brain may influence memory and neural integrity. For mental health professionals, the relevance lies in the potential for understanding molecular pathways that support or threaten cognitive resilience, which can inform perspectives on neurodegenerative risk and caregiver education.

OpenAI Foundation이 알츠하이머병의 복잡한 난제를 해결하기 위해 1억 달러 이상을 투입해 질병 매핑, 신약 설계 등 연구를 지원한다고 발표했다. AI를 의학 연구에 적용하는 대형 사회적·과학적 프로젝트로, 의료 AI의 새로운 활용 사례로 주목된다.
Alzheimer’s is one of medicine's hardest unsolved problems, and one of the most devastating. At the OpenAI Foundation, we believe AI is well suited to its complexity. We're directing over $100M to scientists mapping the disease, designing drugs, & more. I wrote about it here:
Scientists just watched Alzheimer's damage happen in real time, and no, it wasn't Trump shredding the rule of law
Scientists at Oregon State University have captured something researchers have long struggled to see: the real-time chemical interactions that help drive Alzheimer’s disease. By watching how metal ions—especially copper—trigger harmful protein clumping in the brain, the team uncovered a clearer picture of how the disease develops at a molecular level.
