What is Alzheimer’s Disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, causing a gradual loss of memory. This makes it difficult for patients to interact with others and respond to their surroundings. The condition leads to the progressive shrinking and death of brain cells. Alzheimer’s accounts for around 60 to 70 percent of all dementia cases.

Recognising the Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease

Alzheimer’s directly targets the person’s memory, giving rise to symptoms that include:

  • Misplacing things frequently
  • Using the same sentence or asking repetitive questions
  • Changes in behaviour and personality
  • Unusual behaviour
