Alzheimer's Disease vs Dementia

Alzheimer’s and dementia are similar, but they are not the same thing. It can be confusing when the terms are used interchangeably, but today’s episode can help you learn the difference between Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Dementia can be used in the place of Alzheimer’s, but not the other way around, and that is because Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia and accounts for nearly 80% of all dementia cases.

Check out today’s episode to learn more about the differences between Alzheimer’s and Dementia and the early warning signs of both.
