Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder of the brain leading to the permanent loss of neurons and of brain abilities, which includes loss of memory, analysis and reasoning. It becomes severe enough to obstruct social or professional functioning of daily life. Alzheimer disease is also well recognized as just Alzheimer's, and Senile Dementia of the Alzheimer Type (SDAT). Alzheimer’s disease is a permanent, progressive brain disorder that gradually demolishes memory and thinking skills and, ultimately, the capability to carry out the simple jobs of daily living. In most of the cases, symptoms of AD first appear after age of 60.
In the duration of the disease plaques and tangles build up inside the structure of the brain. Due to this development brain cells die. Alzheimer's patients have also gets deficiency in the levels of several essential brain chemicals that are involved with the communication of messages inside the brain called as neurotransmitters.
Alzheimer's disease is the very general type of Dementia. Alzheimer's disease gets worse as it increases. It is a progressive disease. Presently there is no treatment for Alzheimer's, even though there are some possible ways of slowing down its progress and helping patients with some of the signs. Alzheimer's is a life-threatening disease and it causes death.
