Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes the brain to shrink and brain cells to die. It is the most common cause of dementia, a continuous decline in thinking, behavioral, and social skills that disrupts a person's ability to function independently. The symptoms of Alzheimer's include memory loss, language problems, and the inability to perform everyday activities.
