Many people in the world are known to have Alzheimer’s disease though not many people know what causes it or how it fully impacts a person. Alzheimer’s disease is a neurological disorder that causes people to forget events in their past. With a large proportion of the population affected by this disease, it is essential that they learn about this dangerous mental disease that plagues our lands. This review article thoroughly evaluates the causes of this disease, and the people who are susceptible to it. It talks about the symptoms and how they affect the individual who is diagnosed with it. It also discusses treatments for this type of dementia, and also previews the long-awaited cure for this disease which will be released in the future.
