Understanding Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease

Dementia is a general term for a group of symptoms that negatively impact memory, reasoning, and cognitive tasks. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive form of dementia that slowly causes impairment in memory and cognitive function. This disease also causes damage to the brain years before its symptoms appear. The symptoms of Alzheimer’s and dementia often overlap, but making the distinction between the two is important for the treatment and management of the disease.

Both conditions can cause:

• The decline in the ability to think
• Difficulties with memory and communication

The symptoms of Alzheimer’s include:

• Difficulty remembering recent events or conversations
• Apathy and depression
• Impaired judgment
• Disorientation and confusion
• Behavioral changes
• Difficulty speaking, swallowing or walking (in advanced stages)
