In this miniseries, we speak with health experts and people dealing with Alzheimer's about symptoms, causes, existing treatments, ongoing research into new therapies. We also discuss ways you can lower your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease or any other form of dementia. And we discuss how caregivers and loved ones can cope with Alzheimer's disease, too.
