Alzheimer

Nearly 6 million people in the United States suffer from Alzheimer’s Disease, a condition that mainly affects individuals aged 65 and older, with the highest impact on those over 75.

The disease arises due to malfunctions in brain proteins. These proteins stop working properly, which damages and eventually kills brain cells. Research suggests a mix of lifestyle, environment, and genetics as contributing factors.

Common Symptoms and Signs:

• Memory Loss

• Behavior or Personality Changes

• Problems With Cognitive Skills (e.g., reading, writing)

• Reasoning or Critical Thinking Problems

• Problems Making Decisions

• Difficulty Performing Basic Tasks

Memory loss is the most notable symptom. It’s crucial to distinguish it from normal memory lapses or other health conditions that can also cause memory issues.
