Alzheimer's Disease

Alzheimer’s disease, a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is emerging as a critical public health challenge in India. Recent estimates suggest that over 5 million Indians currently live with dementia, with Alzheimer’s accounting for the majority of cases. Experts warn that ageing populations, lifestyle changes, and delayed diagnosis are accelerating the burden. Families often face emotional and financial stress due to insufficient healthcare support and awareness.

Alzheimer's disease, a leading cause of dementia, continues to pose significant challenges globally. Recent developments in treatment, early detection, and preventive strategies offer hope for better management and understanding of the disease. Notably, the approval of new anti-amyloid immunotherapies, advancements in diagnostic technologies, and evidence-based lifestyle interventions are shaping the future of Alzheimer's care. This article explores these key developments and their implications for patients and healthcare systems.
