Alzheimer's Wpidemic

Personal blog #9: Reflect on The Forgetting and the subject of Alzheimer’s Disease in general. If you have faced this disorder in your family, feel free to discuss what you have observed. Whether you have had first-hand experience or not, explain what you have learned, and share any insights that you have about this tragic disease.

I never really knew much about the Alzheimer's epidemic. This whole film was basically brand new news to me. I understood that it involved bad memory loss but I never really realized the impact it had on the person with the epidemic or the family and friends around the person with the epidemic. I have not known anybody with the Alzheimer's epidemic and actually thought it was very rare since I knew nobody that had it. I feel fortunate since the situations in the film were pretty scary and awful.
