What is Alzheimer's Disease? Alzheimer's is a degenerative brain disease. It is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory loss and cognitive abilities. Researchers believe that Alzheimer's disease begins 20 years or more before you notice symptoms. Symptoms occur because nerve cells (neurons) in parts of the brain have been damaged or destroyed. Symptoms usually develop slowly and worsen over time, interfering with an individual's ability to perform everyday activities. In the early stages, memory loss is mild, and the individual is said to have dementia due to Alzheimer's disease, or Alzheimer's dementia. In the late stages of Alzheimer's, neurons in parts of the brain that enable a person to carry out basic bodily functions are affected. Individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation, walk, or swallow. The cause may include a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.
