Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive loss of brain cell function and number, resulting in symptoms like confusion, loss of memory and social skills, and overall brain function (dementia). Most often seen in older adults, genetics (runs in the family) and lifestyle seem to play a factor. Women are more likely to develop Alzheimer's than men. Depending on the person, it can progress slowly or quickly, and there is no cure.
