Living with Alzheimer's Disease Podcast

Ep 1: What Is Alzheimer’s Disease?


Listen Later

Alzheimer's disease affects families across the United States, yet no two people with the disease are alike. Our understanding of Alzheimer’s has changed a lot over the years. In this first episode, we start with the basics. We talk about causes, risk factors, symptoms, and how it affects the brain. Plus we learn about the difference between Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
