Introduction

Alzheimer's disease is a brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior in a progressive manner. Often resulting in dementia, Alzheimer's disease usually begins slowly and gets worse over time, causing difficulty with memory, language, problem-solving, and decision-making. The condition can influence mood and behavior negatively and in advanced stages can even affect everyday activities.
