What is Alzheimer’s Disease?

Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that results in the decline of brain function, affecting memory, thought processes and other mental abilities. The exact cause of this disease is still unknown, although there are a few factors which can increase your risk of developing it.

These include:

Are Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease the Same?

Alzheimer’s disease is a form of dementia, although the conditions themselves are not the same. Here are the differences between the two:

Dementia – this is a syndrome and not a disease. A syndrome is a group of symptoms that don’t have a definitive diagnosis. These symptoms will affect the mental cognitive tasks of the person who suffers with it. Dementia is an umbrella term, with Alzheimer’s disease falling under it.

Alzheimer’s disease – this is a progressive disease of the brain, gradually impairing memory and general cognitive function. A cause is yet to be determined and there is currently no cure.

 

What are the Symptoms of Alzheimer’s Disease?

The symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease progresses over time, often several years. Often, these symptoms can be put down to old age, leading to misdiagnosis in older people. The rate at which symptoms progress will differ depending on the individual and their age. Alzheimer’s disease comes on in stages, including:

Early symptoms:

Middle-stage symptoms:

Later symptoms:

If you or someone you know is displaying any of these symptoms, a visit to your GP is highly advisable. Although there is no cure at present, the symptoms can be controlled depending on the stage you’re at.
