Alzheimer's disease is an acquired impairment of cognitive and behavioral functioning of unknown cause that can evolve into dementia. Patients with Alzheimer's disease most commonly present with insidiously progressive memory loss. Many Alzheimer's disease treatments have been explored. The main Alzheimer's disease medications are centrally acting cholinesterase inhibitors.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an irreversible, progressive disorder in which brain cells (neurons) deteriorate, resulting in the loss of cognitive functions, primarily memory, judgment and reasoning, movement coordination, and pattern recognition.

Some symptoms of Alzheimer's disease include:

• Abstract Thinking
• Initiative
