The symptoms that are commonly found are manifestations of stress and having difficulty remembering events, even recent ones. One is tested for AD with tests that evaluate their thinking abilities and brain scans. As the disease continues, your symptoms very well may change. The symptoms progress to more confusion, irritability, aggression, mood swings, trouble with language, and long-term memory loss. There are current treatments, but only deal with help of the symptoms.
With the continuation of the brain disease, normally one drifts away from their family. This disease continues to worsen as it progresses, until death. Unfortunately, there is no cure for Alzheimers, and on average, the expectancy of the life span of one with this disease is seven years. The cause or the progression of this disease is not well understood, and can affect family members tremendously as well. Since AD is one of the most common diseases to our society, it will continue to be studied for a cure.
