Understanding Dementia and Alzheimer’s
Dementia is a general term for a chronic, worsening change in a person’s overall mental ability. It is not a single disease, but a series of symptoms that affect memory, thinking, behavior, and ability to complete daily activities. There are many different types and causes of dementia, but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. Alzheimer’s disease can impact a person’s work, hobbies, social life, and eventually their ability to carry out simple tasks. Alzheimer’s is not a normal part of aging but can be the result of changes such as stroke, brain tumors, alcohol abuse, and nutritional deficiencies.
