Alzheimer's Disease - A Family's Story

  • Summary

  • Alzheimer's disease is a neuro-degenerative and relentlessly progressive disease causing cognitive, memory and behavioral impairment. It disproportionately affects women and can be of early onset. More typically, it afflicts the elderly, most often having a long pre-clinical period. It is also incurable, and the sixth largest cause of death in the United States. This challenge only inflates as life expectancy in developed countries increases, heralding yet another burgeoning health crisis. Hear the enlightening and deeply moving story of Carlen Maddux and his family's courageous and epic odyssey after his wife Martha was diagnosed at age 50. Sobering, memorable and inspirational.
