Alzheimer’s
Alzheimer’s is a progressive form of dementia most commonly found in people over the age of 65.
It initially presents with mild memory loss, but over time these memory problems become more severe and disorienting to the sufferer. Other symptoms of the condition can include sudden personality changes and frequent instances of hallucinations and/or delusions.
Though there is no cure for Alzheimer’s Disease early diagnosis and treatment are vitally important in order to manage and reduce its symptoms and progression.
