For my research essay, I will be examining the flaw in health care regarding the brain disease Alzheimer’s, how this disease can be cured and prevented, and how this inevitable disease forms. Over the past years, numbers have continued to rise in the amount of individuals who have developed Alzheimer’s disease, but one controversial question that still remains is how? Alzheimer’s is a mysterious brain disease that tends to form in progression with age, affecting many aspects of the brain.
The amount of individuals who are diagnosed with this disease have continued to rise and will do so until action is taken place regarding prevention and cure. Within the research of Alzheimer’s, I will look into what causes of the disease, what effects Alzheimer’s has on the brain and body, and what can be done to monitor, prevent and cure Alzheimers.
