Disease/Condition Glossary

Alzheimer's disease: Alzheimer's disease is a neurological disorder that causes memory loss and destroys the ability to think slowly, learn, communicate, and eventually perform daily activities. It is the most common cause of memory loss (dementia) in adults. Memory loss (Dementia) is a loss of cognitive function such as remembering, thinking and reasoning. The causes of this disease are abnormal functioning of brain cells and disruption of communication between them. Risk factors include individual age, family history and genetics.

Stroke: A stroke is a life-threatening medical illness that occurs when part of the brain's blood supply is cut off. Ischemic strokes (in which the blood supply is cut off due to a blood clot) and haemorrhagic strokes (where a weakened blood vessel supplying the blood bursts) are the two most common types of strokes.
