Alzheimer’s Dementia
Alzheimer’s dementia is characterized by a gradual decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills. The exact cause of Alzheimer’s is not fully understood, but it’s believed to involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Pathologically Alzheimer’s dementia is marked by presence of tau tangles and amyloid plaques in the affected neuronal cell, leading to the death. Symptoms typically start with mild memory loss and progress to severe impairment in cognitive and functional abilities, making daily tasks and self-care challenging. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, but therapy focuses on symptom managment and improving quality of life.
