Alzheimers Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It starts with mild memory loss and can lead to severe impairment, impacting daily life. The disease is characterized by the buildup of proteins in the brain that disrupt communication between nerve cells. While the exact cause is unknown, age is the most significant risk factor, with genetics and lifestyle also playing roles. There is currently no cure, but treatments can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected and their families. Early diagnosis and support are crucial.
