Which is worse: dementia or Alzheimer’s?

Dementia is different from Alzheimer’s disease. In general, dementia refers to symptoms that affect memory, daily functioning, and communication skills. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease worsens over time and affects memory, language, and thinking.
Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease can affect younger people, but the risk increases with age.
Still, neither is viewed as a normal part of aging. It is essential to distinguish them despite overlapping symptoms for management and treatment.
