Alzheimer’s disease

Although there’s no cure for Alzheimer’s disease, treatments are available to help slow the development of its symptoms. Getting treated early is very important, so if you think you many have Alzheimer’s disease it’s important you see your doctor as soon as possible.

This website tells you about Alzheimer’s disease, its effects and its treatments. You’ll find practical advice on your medicines and on things you can do to continue living your life as normally as possible, including healthy living and diet tips. The site is designed so that you can pick out topics that are of interest to you. So whether your Alzheimer’s disease has only recently been diagnosed and you’re finding out about it for the first time, or whether you’d like to delve deeper into the subject after having the condition for some time, you’ve come to the right place. We also have a section dedicated to providing information specifically for carers of people with Alzheimer’s disease.

In this section, you can learn about the causes and types, signs and symptoms and treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. You can also find out about non-drug treatments for Alzheimer’s disease, including diet and lifestyle changes you can make, as well as how to get the best out of your NHS services, practical support and information for carers.
