Alzheimer’s is the most common form of the dementia disease, where parts of the brain’s cells cease to work efficiently.

&nbsp;

Alzheimer’s gets progressively worse as the years go on. In the early stages the symptoms are mild, forgetfulness and mild memory loss of newly learned information, but as it progresses, sufferers of the disease may lose the ability respond to their environment, hold a conversation, be disorientated, confused and have mood swings, eventually difficulty with speaking and moving, and serious memory loss.

&nbsp;

It’s more likely that someone else other than the person affected, such as a family member or friend, will notice the symptoms of Alzheimer’s in their loved one. It is recommended to see a doctor immediately to undergo some specific tests.

&nbsp;

At this stage, Alzheimer’s is not curable but there are treatments to temporarily slow down the severity of the symptoms and giving quality of life to those with the disease.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis.
