Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease aren’t the same. Dementia is an overall term used to describe symptoms that impact memory, performance of daily activities, and communication abilities. There are many types of dementia, but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type. Alzheimer’s disease gets worse with time and affects memory, language, and thought.
