Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that accounts for approximately 60-80% of dementia cases. The disease usually progresses slowly, and the first symptoms may include:

• Memory Loss: Patients often forget recent events or have difficulty remembering names and places.
• Difficulty Planning or Solving Problems: Individuals may struggle to follow recipes, manage budgets, or work with numbers.
• Disorientation: Patients may get lost in familiar places or forget how to get home.
• Mood and Personality Changes: Individuals may become confused, anxious, or more irritable.

The exact cause of Alzheimer's disease is not fully understood, but several factors may increase the risk of developing the condition, including:

• Age: The risk of developing Alzheimer's increases with age.
• Genetics: Individuals with a family history of Alzheimer's are at higher risk.
• Lifestyle Factors: An unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, and poor health can increase the risk of the disease.

Diagnosing Alzheimer's disease typically involves a medical history, physical examination, and neurological tests. Currently, there is no definitive cure for Alzheimer's disease, but there are several therapies that can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life, including:

• Medications: Certain medications may help improve symptoms such as memory loss.
• Supportive Therapy: Therapies such as psychological counseling and group activities can help patients and families cope with the challenges of the disease.
