Alzheimer's disease
The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, is a physical brain condition resulting in impaired memory, thinking and behaviour, where a person’s abilities deteriorate over time.
Anyone can get Alzheimer’s disease, although it’s more common in older people.
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, but the condition can be managed and some symptoms can be treated. Support is available.
