About Alzheimer's

• According to the Alzheimer's Association, Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia. Dementia is a chronic or persistent condition that affects cognitive functions, including memory and personality, according to the Oxford American Dictionary. While mild memory loss is a normal side effect of aging, severe memory loss, confusion and physical impairment may be indicative of a more serious problem, such as Alzheimer's. The disease can be diagnosed through a number of tests, verbal interviews and brain scans, according to the National Institute on Aging. If the disease is detected early, patients can receive information and support about their condition, and medications can moderate the affects of the disease.
