Alzheimer's dis ease threatens to be an epidemic in the 21st century if no cure is found. Alzheimer’s disease (pro nounced Alz'.hiwmerz) can of- ten-times be mysterious, elusive and frustrating for those who have the disease and those who love and care for them. It is a de generative brain disease that usu ally begins gradually, causing a person to forget recent events or familiar tasks. How rapidly it ad vances varies from person to per son, but it eventually causes con fusion, personality and behavior changes and impaired judgment. Communication becomes diffi cult as the affected person struggles to find words, finish thoughts or follow directions. Eventually, most people with Alzheimer’s disease become un able to care for themselves. Al ways fatal, Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of ir reversible dementia. Everyday, millions of American families feel the overwhelming task of caring for a loved one. Being a caregiver is emotionally and physically draining.
