Questions Related to Alzheimer's / Dementia

What exactly is Alzheimer’s / Dementia?

Dementia refers to a cluster of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities significantly enough to impair everyday functioning. It’s important to understand that dementia is not a specific disease, but rather a general term that encompasses a variety of symptoms caused by different disorders.

These disorders gradually diminish a person’s memory and the ability to acquire and retain knowledge, impacting their cognitive abilities, social interactions, and personal identity.

There are several forms of dementia, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most prevalent, as stated by the Alzheimer’s Association. It represents 60 to 80 percent of all dementia cases and is the sixth leading cause of death in the United States.
