Alzheimer's disease is a progressive brain disorder where toxic proteins accumulate and damage nerve cells, leading to memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with daily tasks. Over time, the disease destroys more brain tissue, causing severe cognitive decline and affecting personality and behavior, ultimately making it fatal. Scientists believe a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors contribute to its development, though the exact causes remain an active area of research.
