What’s the difference between Dementia and Alzheimer's?

Dementia is a general term used to describe a set of symptoms that affect cognitive abilities, memory, thinking, and behavior. It is not a specific disease but rather an umbrella term for a group of symptoms. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause or type of dementia, accounting for the majority of cases. It is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects memory and cognitive functions
