Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that primarily affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It is the most common cause of dementia among older adults, leading to gradual cognitive decline and loss of independence. In Alzheimer's, abnormal protein deposits (amyloid plaques and tau tangles) build up in the brain, causing brain cells to die and connections between neurons to weaken.
Early symptoms include memory loss, difficulty with planning or completing tasks, confusion, and mood changes. Over time, the disease worsens, leading to severe memory impairment, language difficulties, and loss of physical abilities. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's, but certain medications and therapies can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
