Alzheimer's disease really affects how people make everyday decisions.
It's the most common type of dementia, making up about 60-80% of all cases.
As the disease gets worse, people may face challenges like:
Studies show that around 50% of people with Alzheimer’s notice problems with decision-making in the first few years after being diagnosed.
As the disease reaches its later stages, many people can struggle so much that they can no longer live on their own.
This happens because the disease causes damage to parts of the brain that help us with thinking and planning, especially areas called the prefrontal cortex and temporal lobes.
