Symptoms, remedies, treatments and care for Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a form of dementia. It is a brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. It is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but with late-stage Alzheimer's, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment.

Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging, and it can happen to young people as well. However, the greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older.
