Dementia: Frequently Asked Questions

What is dementia?

Dementia is a general term for memory loss and an impaired ability to think, problem solve, make decisions, and communicate. The symptoms are progressive, meaning they worsen over time. Different conditions can cause dementia. The most common type is Alzheimer's disease.

Is dementia a hereditary disease?

 Chevron Icon

In most cases, a person does not inherit dementia. However, some research has identified genetic variants that may increase a person's risk of Alzheimer's disease. This includes the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene, which helps make a protein that carries cholesterol and other fats in the bloodstream. More research into possible genetic risk factors for dementia is necessary to understand the potential link.

What is the difference between dementia and Alzheimer's disease?

 Chevron Icon

Dementia describes a set of symptoms such as loss of memory and impaired thinking. These symptoms can develop due to a range of progressive conditions. Alzheimer's disease is one of these conditions and the most common cause of dementia symptoms.

Can dementia be cured?

 Chevron Icon

There is currently no cure for dementia. However, early diagnosis and treatment may help to slow down progression.
