Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, a neurologic disease characterized by loss of mental ability severe enough to interfere with normal activities of daily living. Alzheimer's usually occurs in old age and is marked by a decline in cognitive functions such as remembering, reasoning and planning.

The key signs of Alzheimer's disease are:

• Memory loss
• Difficulty performing familiar tasks
• Problems with language
• Disorientation to time and place
• Poor or decreased judgment
• Problems with abstract thinking
• Misplacing things
• Changes in mood or behavior
• Changes in personality
• Loss of initiative

People who develop Alzheimer's begin their journey into dementia as competent, independent adults, possessing the skills we all take for granted – until Alzheimer's develops.
