How does Alzheimer's disease affect a person's memory?
Alzheimer's disease destroys brain tissue and nerve linking in the brain. Early in the disease people can be confused or forgetful. Later, large pieces of memory and knowledge are gone. As the disease progresses, the personality may change and the sufferer may get combative, angry, depressed, or try to run away. Language begins to disappear. Medical science is very good at keeping the body alive, and Alzheimer's patients often live long after their mind is almost completely gone. Eventually the disease will cause death. There is no cure for Alzheimer's. Some medications and therapies seem to slow it and improve quality of life somewhat, at least for a while.

What is the youngest age recorded of a person to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's?
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative and always fatal disease that attacks the brain.It gradually strips a person of mental and physical capabilities and renders them totally incapable of caring for themselves. Alzheimer's disease can affect anyone. At present, there are an estimated 400,000 Floridians and approximately 4.8 million Americans who have been given an Alzheimer's or a related dementia diagnosis.Alzheimer's disease has a gradual onset. The memory losses are a result of the death of brain cells and connectors between these brain cells. Symptoms include difficulty with memory, confusion, interference with routine work and social activities, language usage, impaired judgment, misplacing objects, mood swings and disorientation with regard to place and time. Every Alzheimer's patient exhibits universal symptoms, yet each patient has an individual pattern. Eventually, this disease process leaves patients with a total loss of ability to care for themselves. The course of Alzheimer's can run from 2-25 years, with the average being four to eight years.It is very rare to show signs of dementia before age 40, however the youngest person ever diagnosed with Alzheimer's was 27 years of age. Alzheimer's and Down's Syndrome are both on chromosome 21, and patients who have Down's Syndrome invariably develop Alzheimer's if they live long enough. Other dementia and disease-like symptoms can overlap with Alzheimer's, so a patient may be diagnosed with different forms of illnesses at the same time.
