Understanding Alzheimers disease What is Alzheimers disease? Alzheimers disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. It is a progressive disease. This means it gets worse over time and continues to progress for the rest of a persons life. Thats why it is important to recognize the symptoms of Alzheimers disease sooner rather than later and discuss treatment options with a healthcare provider. How does Alzheimers disease progress? In the early stages of Alzheimers disease, memory loss may be mild. Symptoms in this stage may include getting confused in familiar places and taking longer than usual to complete normal daily tasks. The disease progresses at different rates in different people. PLEASE OBSERVE YOUR FATHER OR MOTHER, GRANDFATHER OR GRANDMOTHER FOR SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS SO YOU CAN HELP THEM. SEE COMMENTS.
