What is alzheimer?
Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years.
It is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-70% of all cases.
The disease is characterized by the buildup of plaques and tangles in the brain, which leads to the loss of connections between nerve cells and eventually to the death of nerve cells and loss of brain tissue.
Symptoms include memory loss, difficulty in thinking and problem-solving, confusion, and changes in mood and behavior.
There is no known cure for Alzheimer's, but treatments can help manage the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
Early detection and seeking medical attention is important for managing the condition.
