Alzheimer disease is one of the most common forms of dementia and the problematic part of it is that there is no cure for the disease. The disease will worsen over the passage of time and it will eventually lead to death. Name of the disease was inspired by the psychiatrist and neuro pathologist Alois Alzheimer who traced the symptoms of the disease way back in 1906. That is where the name of Dr Michael Mullan comes into picture.
