Alzheimer’s disease is most common form of dementia
(loss of memory). The disease, caused by the degeneration of brain cells and
nerves, impacts functioning of the brain, affecting day-to-day activities in
its victims. The disease is generally diagnosed in the people over 65-year age.
The main symptoms include difficulty in remembering recent events which
gradually develops into advance symptoms like confusion, irritability and
aggression, mood swings, trouble with language, and long-term memory loss.
There is no cure for the disease, which worsens as it progresses, and
eventually leads to death.
