Dementia
Dementia is called a set of symptoms associated with a range of illnesses that affect a person's mental and social thinking and abilities, not the name of a particular disease.

It is a satisfactory disorder of the person, and not a natural brain change due to aging, but this change leads to a deterioration of the quality of life of the person in general.

Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, which means that dementia and Alzheimer's disease are not a thing. Dementia is a group of symptoms that can be caused by Alzheimer's disease and result from other disorders.

To be considered dementia, you must have at least two brain functions in play. A loss of memory or lack of memory does not mean that a person has dementia. In the use of language, or is unable to do daily business such as paying bills, or having problems to identify destinations and places, it is not known when driving a car, for example.
