    All About Alzheimer’s Disease: Signs, Symptoms, and What To Do

    Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia affecting adult Americans, 20 percent of whom will be 65 or older by 2029. It’s not easy to deal with, either as a patient or as the loved one of a patient, and many people have no idea what to do when their loved ones begin showing signs.
