Alzheimer's is a disease with brain problems that worsen as you grow older due to certain protein buildup in the brain, causing brain cells to die and cause it to shrink. The main factor behind dementia is that it causes a person's memory, thinking behaviour, and social skills to decline, and affects the capabilities of doing things.

Initially, the disease starts with the vanishing of recent events from your memory and further leads to bigger memory problems and difficulties in doing tasks.
