Abstract: Alzheimer and Dementia represent some of the existing and most pressing global health problems based on the rising dominance rate and the constraint of medical implications (Fang, Ye, Huangfu & Calimag, 2017). Alzheimer as one of the most experienced types of dementia illness is usually characterized by advancing cognitive impairment and memory loss. This can result in severe effects by forcing the affected persons to lose their general capabilities to accomplish some given responsibilities. Alzheimer is categorized as thaw most severe health problem of the modern society for humanity. With the rising aging populace, the general number of individuals suffering from Alzheimer and other different types of Dementia is growing in a rather drastic way. Based on a report released in 2013 it has been established that the number of those affected by Alzheimer alone globally is beyond 35 million a level that is projected to exceed by three times by the year 2050 (Fang, Ye, Huangfu & Calimag, 2017).
Despite the fact that the issue has emerged to be a major one it is rather saddening that there lack effective drugs for the ailment. It cannot be denied that Alzheimer and other Dementias have proved to be a major challenge not only based on the lack of effective clinical intervention strategies but also based on its physical, psychological and financial effects. To begin with, Alzheimer is psychologically demanding both for the patients as well as those individuals that surround the patients which might incorporate friends and families (Fang, Ye, Huangfu & Calimag, 2017). In that when an individual suffers from memory loss and minimal brain activity this implies that they can no longer be able to accomplish their daily operations as they were used to which thus implies that they have completely lost independence.
