The Difference Between Alzheimer’s And Dementia
Dementia is an overall term used to describe symptoms that impact memory, the ability to perform daily tasks and communication skills. Dementia occurs when brain cells are damaged by conditions such as Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, strokes, infections and vascular diseases, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common type of dementia. As symptoms of dementia progress, the ability to live independently decreases. Early symptoms include mild forgetfulness, losing track of time and losing your way in familiar settings. More advanced symptoms include a decline in the ability to think, severe memory impairment and loss of communication skills.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive terminal disease that can affect younger people but is mostly diagnosed in elderly people aged over sixty. The symptoms are caused by a build-up of abnormal protein deposits in the brain, which prevent cells from connecting. As well as memory loss and confusion, Alzheimer’s can also cause apathy, depression, impaired judgement and disorientation. It isn’t recommended that an elderly person with Alzheimer’s lives alone unless they are receiving daily care and support.
