Answer 1

Alzheimer’s is a really, really scary disease that makes your brain forget how to be a brain. It makes you lose your memory of really important things, and the longer you have it, the worse you can get. Sometimes, it makes people act really angry and mean, because Alzheimer’s can make people forget that hurting people is bad. Finally, after long enough, Alzheimer’s can make your brain forget to tell the other parts of your body how to work, and so the other parts of the body just… Stop working.
