Roughly 5 million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease is increasing, perhaps because of increased awareness of its symptoms or because people are living longer. Memory loss is the first and primary symptom of Alzheimer's disease. Dr. Pillai provides you with the most up-to-date information on Alzheimer's and how to care for a loved one who has this disease.
