Understanding Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
Dementia is a general term for a decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills that affects daily functioning. It is caused by several underlying conditions and typically progresses over time. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia. It is a progressive condition that affects memory, communication, and the ability to complete familiar daily tasks.
Families often begin to notice changes such as:
- Memory loss affecting daily life
- Confusion about time or place
- Difficulty completing familiar tasks
- Misplacing items frequently
- Changes in mood or behavior
- Reduced judgment or decision-making ability
