Alzheimer's disease is a condition that robs individuals of their memories, and can be an agonizing journey for both patients and their families.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder characterised by memory loss, cognitive decline, and changes in behaviour.
It is the most common cause of dementia. The disease gradually impairs a person's ability to think, communicate, and perform everyday tasks, ultimately leading to severe cognitive impairment.
