Dementia
is an overall term for diseases and conditions characterized by a decline
in memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking skills that affect
a person's ability to perform everyday activities. Memory
loss is an example. Alzheimer's
is the most common cause of dementia. Not a specific disease, dementia is a
group of conditions characterised by impairment of at least two brain functions,
such as memory
loss and judgement.
Symptoms: include forgetfulness, limited
social skills and thinking abilities so impaired that it interferes with daily
functioning.
Medication and therapies may help manage symptoms. Some
causes are reversible.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disorder that causes brain cells to waste away (degenerate) and die. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia — a continuous decline in thinking, behavioural and social skills that disrupts a person's ability to function independently. Brain cell connections and the cells themselves degenerate and die, eventually destroying memory and other important mental functions.
Symptoms: Memory loss and confusion.
No cure exists, but medication and management strategies may temporarily improve symptoms.
