Facts About Alzheimers Dementia
Alzheimers and dementia are not the same thing, but they are very closely related. Most distinction can be observed in the early stages. For instance, in the early stages of Lewy Body Dementia, signs of Alzheimers forgetfulness are not as prevalent as a suddenly diminished attention span, recurrent hallucinations and alarming bouts of lucidity followed by confusion. However, as the dementia progresses, it’s almost indistinguishable from Alzheimers Dementia. Alzheimers dementia is characterized by increasing and persistent forgetfulness. Alzheimers patients routinely forget names of loved ones, appointments, words to express themselves, or even entire events.
