SUMMARY:Dementia vs. Alzheimer’s – Discerning the Difference
DESCRIPTION:What is dementia? What is Alzheimer’s? Are they the same or not? The confusion surrounding dementia and Alzheimer’s is not uncommon. Nestor H. Praderio\, M.D. will present a clear and easy to- understand explanation of the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s. \nWhen a diagnosis of Dementia is issued people usually assume that it is Alzheimer’s and often reference the two interchangeably. It\nis widely believed that Dementia and Alzheimer’s is the same thing. They are not! While Alzheimer’s may be the most common and\nwidely recognized form of Dementia – it is not the only type. Dr. Praderio will clarify how dementia refers to an umbrella term of symptoms which can impact a person’s ability to function on their own. He will also outline how Dementia\, in some instances may be reversed\, however\, Alzheimer’s is an incurabledisease. \nAs customary\, the session will conclude with a question-and answer session with participants. \n
