Understanding Alzheimer's and Dementia
Alzheimer's disease is characterized by specific brain changes such as beta amyloid plaques and tau tangles, but many people misunderstand the distinction between dementia and Alzheimer's. Dementia serves as an umbrella term that includes various types of cognitive decline, with Alzheimer's being the most common form. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include trouble recalling names and an overwhelming feeling about tasks that were once manageable. The onset of these symptoms often occurs decades after physiological changes begin, highlighting a crucial window for preventive measures.
