Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior, and is the most common cause of dementia. It leads to a gradual decline in cognitive abilities, often interfering with daily life and independence. Parkinson’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects movement, causing tremors, stiffness, and balance problems. Over time, it can also impact mood, sleep, and memory. Both conditions are more common in older adults and currently have no cure, but early diagnosis and proper care can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
