Alzheimer’s (AHLZ-high-merz) is a disease of the brain that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. It is not a normal part of aging.
Alzheimer’s gets worse over time. And there's no cure for it.

Other symptoms include confusion, getting lost in familiar places, misplacing things and trouble with language. (more info)
