Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disease. Over time, Alzheimer’s can affect behavior, personality, and language. Current medications can help manage some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s, but there is no cure for the disease. Doctors are researching new kinds of therapies that may help better manage these symptoms in the future, which will be discussed in this presentation.
