Dementia is a general term used to describe a decline in memory, thinking, and reasoning skills that interferes with a person’s daily life. It is not a single disease, but rather a group of symptoms caused by various conditions. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, and it is a progressive brain disorder that gradually affects memory, language, and problem-solving abilities.
This in-person discussion will help attendees to learn more about what dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are, how they are diagnosed, and what steps can be taken to support brain health during the Weill Cornell Medicine Wellness Series with the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library.
