🧠 Alzheimer’s vs Dementia — What’s the Difference?
Many people use the terms Alzheimer’s and dementia interchangeably — but they’re not the same.
✔ Dementia is a general term describing symptoms like memory loss and confusion.
✔ Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia.
Understanding the difference helps families recognise early signs and seek the right support sooner.
Signs to look out for may include:
- Memory loss affecting daily life
- Confusion or disorientation
- Changes in mood or behaviour
- Difficulty communicating
