 Alzheimer's disease may be a progressive disorder that causes brain cells to waste away (degenerate) and die.  Alzheimer's disease is that the commonest explanation for dementia — endless decline in thinking, behavioral and social skills that disrupts an individual's ability to function independently. The early signs of the disease could also be forgetting recent events or conversations.  Because the disease progresses, an individual with Alzheimer's disease will develop severe memory impairment and lose the power to hold out everyday tasks. Current Alzheimer's disease medications may temporarily improve symptoms or slow the speed of decline. There is no treatment that cures Alzheimer's disease or alters the disease process within the brain. In advanced stages of the disease, complications from severe loss of brain function — like dehydration, malnutrition or infection — end in death.
