Definition Alzheimers or AD is a terminal disease of the centural nervous system that has no cure. AD effects a persons memory and living style. What causes ﻿ad? AD is made of cells called genes. AD Genes are cells that attack your brain and your centural nervous system until they start to not work and finally until you do not evan know who you are. AD also can be hereditary coming from people in your family that have had AD. What are the symptoms ? The symptoms of AD are like the symptoms of depression. The symptoms of AD are memory loss,sleeping to much or to little,and not concentrating or getting simple tasks done properly. AD and depression are alike so it is sometimes hard to diagnose the two diseases there is one more symptom it is that that he or she looks like there not in themselves or acting properly ﻿. How do you treat it? For Alzheimer's there really is no treatment for it although there is one drug that can slow the effects of AD down. However the AD drug only works for half the people that use it. News on Alzheimer's AD is a growing concern in the world because the population of people with AD doubles every five years. The good news is that scientist are working on a new drug that can stop AD or it can slow the progress of the disease. A drug that they are working on now is a drug that will stop the abnormal cells from growing and killing the good cells.

For now AD is another disease that can cause a slow death. Also right now there is no cure for AD. My great grandma got her life taken away by AD so for the families that have had AD in their families let us raise awareness about this disease and find a cure to make sure nobody has to go threw the disease.
