Often used interchangeably, \\"dementia\\" and \\"Alzheimer’s Disease\\" are not the same thing. Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a decline in mental ability severe enough to impact daily life. Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) are causes of dementia. Alzheimer’s is a disease; dementia is not. Other types of dementia include Lewy Body Dementia, Huntingdon’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease Dementia, and Vascular Dementia.
