Person with Alzheimer’s, exhibits symptoms in their mid-60s age. It is currently ranked as the seventh leading reason of death in the world. By 2050, more than 140 lakh aged US citizens are statically expected to face Alzheimer’s disorder. Countless experiments have been performed to evaluate abnormal chemical, physical or electrical changes in brain so as to detect Alzheimer. Elevated death rates, enormous expenses for diagnosis along with cure, and patients’ care, are among few consequences of this dreaded disease. Currently, no therapy is available for Alzheimer. A timely diagnosis assists in attaining essential support, suitable medication, and continuation, as much as possible, of involvement in intellectual, public, and physical behaviors. Furthermore, early detection also provides the opportunity to start treatment before neurodegeneration has progressed and with only minimal disease pathology present. This is really effective for improving the life quality of the patients and their family members. Therefore, in the present paper, authors have presented a brief overview of the disease along with its treatment options so that the patients might get optimum health care at an early stage to continue a serene life.
