Alzheimer’s and other forms of Dementia represent some of the most pressing challenges in today’s aging population.
Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia, is a progressive neurological disorder that leads to memory loss, cognitive decline, and ultimately the inability to carry out simple daily tasks.
While dementia encompasses a range of symptoms associated with a decline in cognitive function, Alzheimer’s is characterized by the build-up of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain.
Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, but treatments and lifestyle interventions can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
Ongoing research is focused on understanding the underlying mechanisms of these conditions and developing effective therapies to slow or halt their progression.
The increasing prevalence of Alzheimer’s and dementia highlights the urgent need for awareness, support, and advanced medical research to combat these debilitating diseases.
