Alzheimer's Disease

   Alzheimer's disease is a physical disease of the brain. During the course of the disease plaques and tangles develop in the brain leading to the death of brain cells. Alzheimer's always starts in the median temporal lobe, so it affects the memory first. In its early stages memory loss is mild but in its late- stages it causes loss of ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment. Alzheimer's Disease is the most common form of dementia. Dementia is a general term for loss of memory and other abilities that may interfere with normal daily life. Alzheimer's Disease accounts for about 50 to 80 % of all dementia cases. Alzheimer's disease symptoms become worse over time. It is a lethal disease, meaning that there is no way out and it will eventually end your life. Alzheimer's was discovered in 1906 by German neurologist Alois Alzheimer, but it was only recently brought up how widespread this disease actually is. 
The video we watched in class, "The Forgetting", was about Alzheimer's Disease and its explanation in depth. They estimated the number of people with this disease to five million and that the number is still increasing. There were also mentioned experiments on animals and how are the scientists trying to develop drugs that will cure the disease. There were also introduced some stories of the people with this disease. In the video they said that Alzheimer's Disease affects the relatives more than the person with the disease because the person with the disease eventually forgets who are his or her relatives and it can be quite traumatic for their loved ones.
       There is so many new things I have learned about Alzheimer's Disease in the class. Personally, I don't know anybody who has this disease so I was never really interested in it and therefore I didn't know a lot about the disease. After we covered this topic in class, I finally became aware of how widespread it is and how awful are the consequences of it. From the video "The Forgetting" I learned that Alzheimer's Disease can "tear all the memories that form who you are." Some of the patients in the video say that they "lost themselves"  because memories form who we are. I also learned that relatives of the person suffering from this disease are affected really badly because the person that they knew and loved is slowly disappearing.
