Alzheimer's Disease: A Devastating Brain Disorder
Understanding Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder that affects memory, thinking skills, and behavior. It is the most common form of dementia, a general term for conditions that impair cognitive function.
Characteristics of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by the following symptoms:
- Memory loss, particularly recent memories
- Difficulty with language and comprehension
- Impaired judgment and decision-making
- Changes in mood and behavior
- Loss of coordination and balance
As the disease progresses, cognitive impairments become more severe, eventually leading to a loss of independence and the ability to carry out daily activities.
