Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive, neurodegenerative, and fatal disease that slowly affects memory, cognition, and function. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia among older people. Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning – thinking, remembering, and reasoning – and behavioral abilities, to such an extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. Dementia ranges in severity from mild to the most severe stage, when the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of daily living.
