Alzheimer’s

The cause of Alzheimer’s is the accumulation of amyloid-beta peptides (neurotoxic molecules) in the brain

It is a neurological disorder which causes brain cells to degenerate and die. This leads to loss of memory, problems with words in speaking or writing, poor judgment, changes in mood and personality, confusion with time or place, etc.

Alzheimer’s is an incurable disease, as the death of brain cells cannot be reversed.

Women have a higher risk of having Alzheimer’s disease than men.
