Alzheimer’s Disease

What is Alzheimer's disease?

Alzheimer's disease is a disorder that damages the brain. It causes a steady loss of memory and of your ability to speak, think, and do daily activities. Some people lose the ability to do daily activities in the first few years. Others may do fairly well until much later.
