Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and get worse over time. Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.
The greatest known risk factor is increasing age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer's are 65 and older.

Symptoms usually develop slowly and becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.
The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events (short-term memory loss). Symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation (including easily getting lost), mood swings, loss of motivation, not managing self care, and behavioural issues.
As a person's condition declines, they often withdraw from family and society. Gradually, bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death.

Although the speed of progression can vary, the average life expectancy following diagnosis is three to nine years.
Initial symptoms are often mistaken for normal ageing. Examination of brain tissue is needed for a definite diagnosis. A definitive diagnosis is usually made once cognitive impairment compromises daily living activities, although the person may still be living independently.
Affected people increasingly rely on others for assistance, often placing a burden on the caregiver; the pressures can include social, psychological, physical, and economic elements.

Alzheimer's has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues. Although current Alzheimer's treatments cannot stop Alzheimer's from progressing, they can temporarily slow the worsening of dementia symptoms and improve quality of life for those with Alzheimer's and their caregivers.
Treatment involves drug and non-drug care, support and activities.
Exercise programmes may be beneficial with respect to activities of daily living and can potentially improve outcomes.
The drug may help with memory problems, improve concentration and motivation, and help with aspects of daily living such as cooking, shopping or hobbies.

Researchers are working to uncover as many aspects of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias as possible. Some of the most remarkable progress has shed light on how Alzheimer's affects the brain. The hope is this better understanding will lead to new treatments. Altro
