A frequent question we get asked at Alzheimer's Society is 'what's the difference between Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia'? Dementia is an umbrella term which describes a group of symptoms that is caused by diseases and conditions that affect the brain, such as Alzheimer's disease... symptoms can include memory loss, difficulties with communication and perception, and much more. Dementia can affect anyone at any age and a timely diagnosis can make a huge difference. For more information and support, visit www.alzheimers.org.uk. #Dementia #dementiaawareness
