Alzheimer's disease is problably one of the worst ways to grow old. On the documentry that we saw in class it showed us different people, on different stages of the disease, some way more advanced than others. When a person reaches 65 years old, their chances of developing their disease increase greatly, and every 5 years after that chance grows exponentially. What alzheimer affects is in essence the long term memory of the diseased. As the stages progress the subject becomes much more alien to their memories, and motor skills. Normal everyday tasks that they would preform when they were young become almost impossible for them to execute. Things like driving, of even sorting groceries, this is since they forget key things like traffic signs. Also the jugdemente of the subject is also affected, they sort of go back to a childhood stage in which they are not resonable or trustworthy.I feel threatened by it, since it supposly runs in my family, although studies say other than that
