Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and impaired daily functioning. It is the most common cause of dementia, and its impact increases with age, leading to significant challenges in care and management.
Dementia is an umbrella term for a group of cognitive disorders characterized by progressive decline in memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform daily activities. It encompasses several types, including Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, each with distinct symptoms and underlying causes.
Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily affecting movement control due to the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. It is characterized by motor symptoms such as tremors, rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness of movement), and postural instability, as well as non-motor symptoms that impact quality of life.
