Spring is a time to enjoy with elderly parents, but it's essential to observe them for signs of dementia, particularly Alzheimerâs disease, which affects many older adults. Dementia encompasses a range of symptoms including memory loss, communication problems, and cognitive decline in daily life. While some causes of dementia are reversible, many, including Alzheimer's, are not. Alzheimer's affects over 6.5 million Americans, with women being more impacted than men, underscoring the need for awareness during family gatherings this season.
Dementia is not a disease, but a term for various symptoms that lead to cognitive decline affecting daily life. Memory loss is the most recognizable symptom.
Alzheimer's disease is the leading cause of dementia, significantly impacting women, and affects over 6.5 million in the U.S. alone.
