Alzheimer's Dementia

Alzheimer's Dementia is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder that affects memory, thinking and behaviour. It is the most common form of dementia, and can cause severe disability, impacting quality of life and functioning. It is the leading cause of disability and death among older adults. Early diagnosis and medical treatment are important to slow the progression of the disease and lessen its symptoms. Research is ongoing to develop treatments and preventative measures to help those who suffer from this debilitating disease.
