There are currently more than 55 million people suffering from senile worldwide, more than 60% of whom are dominated by middle and low income countries. Every year, 10 million cases of senile occur. Senile is caused by various diseases that attack the brain. Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common forms of this disease and can cause 60-70% of cases in elderly people with senile. Caring for a parent with senile has the potential to be very stressful.
