Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a rare but devastating brain disorder caused by misfolded proteins that rapidly destroy brain function.

What begins with subtle symptoms can quickly progress to severe memory loss, confusion, and loss of movement—often within weeks to months.

While there is no cure, early recognition allows a shift toward comfort-focused care, helping patients and families navigate this difficult journey with dignity and support.
