Dementia is a term that refers to a group of conditions that impact the brain and its memory and cognitive functions. Alzheimer’s, the most prevalent form of dementia, is a specific progressive disorder that causes the brain cells to shrink and die, resulting in severe memory impairment and the loss of the patient’s ability to live independently.
