This symptom of Alzheimer’s disease may result from neuronal aging or a familial history of the condition. Once diagnosed, patients can be treated—under a physician’s guidance—with medications such as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, which generally help alleviate symptoms. In daily life, patients should also consume a diet rich in vitamins and high-quality protein, including ample fresh vegetables and fruits, to support immune function.
