老年痴呆症 Alzheimer's disease 阿尔茨海默症这个名字我真没听说过，我是猜他发音才猜出来的。

The difference between 阿尔茨海默症 and 老年痴呆症 is something I often talk about. 阿尔茨海默症 is very specific, but many people know about 老年痴呆症 and they believe it is normal and it happens to everyone.

这是一个可悲的疾病 我的工作 作为一名研究人员 从事阿尔茨海默氏病的研究

Alzheimer? I learned it on my Psychology course. 中文的名称是阿尔茨海默症（一般中文的翻译会直接加姓，不会加“氏”……虽然有些时候也加），俗称是老年痴呆症。 In chinese it is called阿尔茨海默症 academically, or just 老年痴呆症, which is more common to people who don't learn psychology. 感觉得这个病的人真的好可怜，会一点点忘记自己是谁。
