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.

Determining if Symptoms are Alzheimer's Disease or Normal Aging Signs
When trying to differentiate between normal aging and Alzheimer’s disease, it’s important to recognize key differences. Here’s a brief overview in a tabular format:
| Aspect | Normal Aging | Alzheimer’s Disease |
|---|---|---|
| Memory Loss | Occasionally forgetting names or appointments, but remembering them later. | Forgetting recently learned information, important dates or events, asking for the same information repeatedly. |
| Problem Solving | Making occasional errors when managing finances or household bills. | Experiencing difficulties with everyday tasks, like following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. |
| Time and Place | Getting confused about the day of the week but figuring it out later. | Losing track of dates, seasons, and the passage of time; trouble understanding something if it’s not happening immediately. |
| Speaking or Writing | Sometimes having trouble finding the right word. | Struggling with vocabulary, having trouble following or joining a conversation, stopping in the middle of a conversation and having no idea how to continue. |
| Judgment | Making a bad decision once in a while. | Showing poor judgment in dealing with money, paying less attention to grooming or keeping oneself clean. |
This table provides a general guideline, but it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and advice.
