| Description: | A brain disease that usually starts in late middle to old age as a memory loss for recent events. Over the course of five to ten years, Alzheimer’s disease progresses to a major intellectual decline characterized by loss of more distant events and inability to remember how to carry out basic tasks that leads to personal helplessness.
