What is Alzheimer’s Disease:

  1. Alzheimer’s is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior. Symptoms usually develop slowly and get worse over time, becoming severe enough to interfere with daily tasks.
  2. Alzheimer’s Disease accounts for 60 to 80 percent of dementia cases.
  3. Alzheimer’s has no current cure, but treatments for symptoms are available and research continues.

What is Dementia:

  1. Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Memory loss is an example. Alzheimer’s is the most common type of Dementia.
  2. Dementia is not a specific disease. It’s an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities.
