Alzheimer's Disease, a prevalent form of dementia, affects millions worldwide, primarily impacting memory, thinking, and behavior. It is a progressive neurological disorder where brain cells degenerate and die, leading to a continuous decline in cognitive function. Early symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events and confusion. As the disease advances, individuals may experience severe memory loss, impaired reasoning, and personality changes. While Alzheimer's accounts for 60-80% of dementia cases, other forms include vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Despite extensive research, a cure remains elusive. Current treatments focus on managing symptoms and improving quality of life, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and supportive care.
