    ALZHEIMER
    Alzheimer's disease is a progressive,
    degenerative disorder that attacks the brain's
    nerve cells, or neurons.
    It results in loss of memory, thinking and
    language skills, and behavioral changes.
    This disease dates back to 1906 by Dr. Alois
    Alzheimer, a German physician.
    CAUSES
    The brain chemical produced by the neurons is called
    acetylcholine.

    These neurons break connections with other nerve cells


    and ultimately die.

    It causes dementia.

    There are three stages:


    o Early
    o Middle
    o Late
    Treatments for Alzheimer's
    disease

    Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer's.

    Drug and non-drug treatments may help with both cognitive and
    behavioral symptoms.

    Researchers are looking for new treatments to improve the quality of life
    for people with dementia.
