A most common form of dementia, Alzheimer's disease is a progressive and a fatal brain disease, which in most cases has no current permanent cure.

Although medical experts have related the disease to progressive brain cell failure, but, they have not been able to identify the reasons behind it.

A person suffering from Alzheimer's disease suffers with problems with the memory, thought process, behavioral changes that effect work and ones social life.

It not only impairs memory but also hampers a person's power to reason out, his planning powers and his perception.

Most scientists are of the opinion that accumulation of a specific protein called as beta-amyloid protein in the brain can cause the problem.

Although the disease is not something that has to always happen as a result of aging, but in most cases, people above 65 years are victims of the disorder. However, people who are in their thirties and forties may also experience the problems related to Alzheimer.
