Difference between dementia and alzheimer
Dementia is an umbrella term for a set of symptoms including impaired thinking and memory. ...
Dementia is the name for a group of brain disorders that make it hard to remember, think clearly, make decisions, or even control your emotions. Alzheimer’s disease is one of those disorders, but there are many different types and causes of dementia.
Dementia isn’t just about simple memory mishaps -- like forgetting someone’s name or where you parked. A person with dementia has a hard time with at least two of the following:
Memory
Communication and speech
Focus and concentration
Reasoning and judgment
Visual perception (can’t see the difference in colors or detect movement, or sees things that aren’t there)
Since some types of dementia share similar symptoms, it can be hard for a doctor to figure out which one you or your loved one has. Be sure to tell him about all symptoms, medication and alcohol use, and previous illnesses to help him make the right diagnosis.
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD)
This is the most common type of dementia. About 60% to 80% of people who have dementia have Alzeheimer’s. It’s a progressive condition, which means it gets worse over time, and it usually affects people over 65 years old. There’s currently no cure.
It happens when proteins (called plaques) and fibers (called tangles) build up in your brain and block nerve signals and destroy nerve cells. Memory loss may be mild at first, but symptoms become worse over time.
β-amyloid protein (Aβ) in the brain
Tease apart - find , Cu, Zn, Fe
Cu, Fe are unstable - cause free radicals - which attacks the brain
Zn seems to cause the formation of of these plaques - Cu and Fe also do this…. But not as aggressively as Zn
