Alzheimer's disease affects families across the United States, yet no two people with the disease are alike. Our understanding of Alzheimer’s has changed a lot over the years. In this first episode, we start with the basics. We talk about causes, risk factors, symptoms, and how it affects the brain. Plus we learn about the difference between Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

Description

Alzheimer's affects at least 30 million people worldwide, not including, of course, friends, family, and other loved ones, and that number is growing as we live longer. In this miniseries, we speak with health experts and people dealing with Alzheimer's about symptoms, causes, existing treatments, ongoing research into new therapies. We also discuss ways you can lower your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or any other form of dementia.

And we discuss how caregivers and loved ones can cope with Alzheimer's disease, too.
