Registrations are closed for this event

Cuando se emite un diagnóstico de demencia, las personas generalmente asumen que es de Alzheimer y a menudo hacen referencia a los dos indistintamente. Se cree ampliamente que la demencia y el Alzheimer es lo mismo. ¡ No lo son! Mientras que el Alzheimer puede ser la forma más común y ampliamente reconocida de la demencia-no es el único tipo. Nestor H. Praderio, M.D. aclarará cómo la demencia se refiere a un término genérico de los síntomas que impactan la capacidad de una persona para funcionar por su cuenta. También esbozar cómo la demencia, en algunos casos puede ser revertida, sin embargo, el Alzheimer es una enfermedad incurable.
