Understanding Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
The term dementia refers to a set of symptoms that negatively affect memory, reasoning, and cognitive functions. Alzheimer's disease is a progressive form of dementia that slowly impairs memory and reasoning abilities. Moreover, Alzheimer's causes damage to the brain years before symptoms are apparent. While dementia and Alzheimer's symptoms often overlap, it is important to make the distinction between them 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)
