What Differs Between Alzheimers Disease and Dementia?
Understanding the two terms and their distinctions is crucial because it helps provide people living with Alzheimer's disease or another form of dementia, as well as their family and caregivers, with the knowledge they need.
Overview of dementia
A series of symptoms known as dementia are linked to a decline in memory, reasoning, or other cognitive abilities. There are numerous causes of dementia as well as numerous different forms of dementia. When multiple types of dementia affect the brain at once, the condition is known as mixed dementia. In between 60 and 80 percent of dementia cases, Alzheimer's disease is to blame.
Aging does not necessarily cause dementia. It is brought on by damage to brain cells that interferes with their communication, which in turn affects thinking, behavior, and emotions.
Overview of Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's is a degenerative brain condition brought on by intricate brain changes after cell injury. It causes dementia symptoms, which progressively get worse over time. Due to the fact that Alzheimer's often affects the learning-related area of the brain first, difficulty remembering new knowledge is one of the disease's most prevalent early symptoms.
The symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, which include confusion, disorientation, and behavioral changes, worsen as the disease progresses. Speaking, swallowing, and walking eventually become challenging.
