Alzheimer’s Overview
Alzheimer’s is a heartbreaking neurological disease that affects the older population. According to WebMD:
“Alzheimer’s disease is a condition in which nerve cells in the brain die, making it difficult for the brain’s signals to be transmitted properly. Alzheimer’s symptoms may be hard to distinguish early on. A person with Alzheimer’s disease has problems with memory, judgment, and thinking, which makes it hard for the person to work or take part in day-to-day life. The death of the nerve cells occurs gradually over a period of years”.
