This brain related disease is really dangerous, but Alzheimer’s is not limited to just forgetting things.

Family burden:
Alzheimer’s affects not only the patient, but his entire family. Family members have to continuously take care of them, which is physically, emotional and financially tired. Often they feel the pain of losing their loved ones, because their beloved person gradually forgets his identity.
