Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive and degenerative brain disease and the most commonly known form of dementia.
What you may not know, is Dementia is not a specific disease. It’s an overall term used to describe a group of symptoms specific to memory loss and other cognitive impairments, serious enough to interfere with your loved one’s daily activities.
