Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is the biological process that starts with the appearance of a buildup proteins in the form of amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in the brain. This causes the brain cells to decease over time and the brain to diminish. This disease is the most common cause of dementia. The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease comprise of forgetting recent events or conversations. Over time, Alzheimer's disease leads to serious memory loss and affects a person's ability to do everyday tasks. In advanced stages, loss of brain function can cause dehydration, poor nutrition or infection. These complications can result in death. Supports and treatments are needed for Alzheimer's disease patients. Consult a doctor for advice on treatment. Maintain a healthy lifestyle. Do not jerk, tease, or bully Alzheimer's disease patients. Together, let's put our empathy and sympathy towards Alzheimer's disease patients. Thank you.
