Alzheimer’s Disease

I learned that Alzheimer’s is a brain disease that affects memory, thinking , and behavior. I learned that the symptoms develop slowly over time and usually get worse too , becoming brutal enough to interfere with daily tasks. I learned that Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. I also learned that Alzheimer's is not a normal part of aging . Finally I learned that Alzheimer's has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues.

The greatest risk factor is increasing in age, and the majority of people with Alzheimer’s disease are from 60 and older. Alzheimer’s is not necessarily of old aged , like 5 percent of the people with the disease have early onset Alzheimer , that appears when you are in your 40s or 50s . Alzheimer is a progressive disease, where its symptoms get worse over years . In its early stages, memory loss is calmed but in the last stages of Alzheimer's, people lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. Alzheimer is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States . Alzheimer cant be cured , but can be slowly temporarily treated to slow the worsening of the symptoms and to improve the quality of life with those with Alzheimer .

Concluding I think that this disease , is a problem because it can appear to people like from nowhere . I say it’s a problem because its harsh and painful to some people , to have not only memory loss more than that . I am proud that scientists are keeping it up with the research in treating the disease .
