Alzheimer's disease affects at least 30 million people worldwide, not including, of course, friends, family, and other loved ones, and that number is growing as we live longer. In this miniseries, we speak with health experts and people dealing with Alzheimer's about symptoms, causes, existing treatments, ongoing research into new therapies. We also discuss ways you can lower your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or any other form of dementia. And we discuss how caregivers and loved ones can cope with Alzheimer's disease, too.
