Alzheimer's disease is a brain disease, named after DrAlois Alzheimer, who first described it in 1906. Since then, scientists have been able to discover many important facts about this disease.

There are about 26 million people around the world who suffer from Alzheimer's disease. The disease destroys brains cells, causing memory loss, behavioral and mental problems. This in turn severely affects the lives of people who suffer from it, as it interferes with their normal functioning, such as practicing their usual hobbies and maintaining their social lives. These effects gradually become more pronounced as time passes. Alzheimer's is now classified as the 4th leading cause of death in developed counties, according to the World Health Organization.
