Alzheimer is a neurological disorder that gets worse over time and can cause the loss of lives of people. It is characterized by changes in the brain that lead to deposits of certain proteins. Alzheimer’s disease causes the brain to shrink and its cells to eventually die due to lack of oxygen. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia which gradually declines the memory, thinking, behavior, and social skills of the patients. These changes affect the ability to function and can lead to several other complications for the patient.

Symptoms

Memory loss is the key symptom of Alzheimer’s disease but the early signs include difficulty remembering recent events or conversations. In this disease, memory gets worse and other symptoms develop as the disease progresses. Patients with the disease may be aware of having trouble remembering things and thinking clearly. As symptoms get worse the patient suffering from this disease may be more likely to notice the issues that are more prominent and severe.

• Repeat statements and questions over and over
• Forget conversations, appointments, or events
• Misplace items, often putting them in places that don’t make sense
• Get lost in places they used to know well
• Eventually, forget the names of family members and everyday objects
• Have trouble finding the right words for objects, expressing thoughts, or taking part in conversations

Causes

The exact causes of Alzheimer’s disease aren’t fully understood but at a basic level, brain proteins fail to function as usual. This disrupts the work of brain cells, also called neurons, and triggers a series of events. The neurons become damaged and lose connections to each other and eventually, they die.

Treatment

There is no prominent treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and it can be treated with certain medications and according to the medical condition of the patient.
