An Alzheimer's diagnosis affects more than just the patient—it affects their families and friends too.
As the disease progresses, a patient's memory deteriorates. They might forget appointments and people's names. Their behavior may suddenly change. And later, they might require constant supervision. Many people are unexpectedly thrust into the role of a caregiver without preparation or knowledge of what's to come. That's why it's important to grow awareness for Alzheimer's, its signs and symptoms—and what you can do in the event that someone you love is diagnosed with the disease. Discover more about what Alzheimer's is through a look at its stages, current clinical research, caregivers accounts, and more.
