Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are sometimes confused as the two disorders are characterised by the neurological deterioration of certain functions. Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis are both progressive, and both diseases have the potential to create severe disability in those that are affected. Although both MS and AD share those similarities, their treatments are quite different. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder where an individual’s own immune response causes damage to the protective coating on the nerves.
