Alzheimer's is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. It's the most common cause of dementia, and its symptoms worsen over time, impacting daily functioning and quality of life. Prevalence of Alzheimer's: Alzheimer's is a prevalent concern, especially among older adults. As of 2021, over 6 million people in the United States were living with Alzheimer's, according to the Alzheimer's Association. This number is expected to rise as the population ages. Treatment Options for Alzheimer's: While there is no cure for Alzheimer's, various treatments and interventions can help manage symptoms and enhance quality of life. Medications can temporarily alleviate cognitive symptoms, and non-drug approaches like cognitive training and physical activity may offer benefits. Caregiver support and early diagnosis are crucial in developing a comprehensive care plan tailored to the individual's needs.
