What
is Alzheimer's disease?
Alzheimer’s (AHLZ-high-merz)
disease is a progressive brain disorder that gradually
destroys a person’s memory and ability to learn,
reason, make judgments, communicate and carry out daily
activities. As Alzheimer’s progresses, individuals
may also experience changes in personality and behavior,
such as anxiety, suspiciousness or agitation, as well
as delusions or hallucinations.
The brain is perhaps the most awesome and complex
example of divine engineering. In performance
and ingenuity, it surpasses even the most powerful
computer devised by mankind. Weighing between
1.3-1.4 kg. and containing some 100 billion neurons
or nerve cells, it controls and determines who
we are, what we do and how we do it.
