Can Alziemer's Disease Be Cured Or Be Controlled ?

My mother, who s 80 year old now, has serious shorttime memory loss for the last 2-3 years. Of late, her behaviour is becoming intolerable. Its becoming increasingly difficult to manage. I am at wits end. I doubt this tobe alziemers disease. Can this be cured, or at least, be controlled ?

Welcome to Healthcare Magic
Good Day
Yes, It is possible she is developing Alzheimers disease. You also need to consider what medication she is on as they can also cause the same. See that she is guided well around the house to prevent falls. You need to consult a Neurologist who will be able to put her on medication to improve her but the best comes from her family's support.
