Understanding Alzheimer's Disorder

Alzheimer’s disease is a degenerative brain disorder that gradually affects memory, thinking skills, and behavior. It is the leading cause of dementia, particularly in older adults. In the early stages, people may struggle with mild forgetfulness and trouble remembering recent events, but as the condition worsens, it can severely limit their ability to perform everyday activities. This cognitive decline occurs due to the buildup of abnormal proteins in the brain, which damages nerve cells and causes brain shrinkage.

Although the exact cause of Alzheimer’s remains unclear, it’s believed to result from a combination of genetic predisposition, environmental influences, and lifestyle factors. Early detection is critical for managing symptoms and developing a care plan, as treatments can help slow disease progression and improve overall quality of life. While a cure is not yet available, options such as medications, cognitive therapies, and behavioral interventions can help individuals retain some level of independence and reduce the strain on caregivers.
