Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Alzheimer's & Dementia treatments at Raj Hospital

What is the difference between Alzheimer's and Dementia?

Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's is a specific disease and the most common cause of dementia.

Is memory loss always a sign of Alzheimer's?

No, occasional memory lapses are a normal part of aging. Severe, progressive memory loss should be medically evaluated, as things like vitamin deficiencies or thyroid issues can cause reversible memory loss.

Can dementia be cured?

Currently, most progressive dementias, including Alzheimer's, cannot be cured. Treatments focus heavily on temporarily improving symptoms, managing behavior, and delaying cognitive decline.

At what age does Alzheimer's usually start?

The vast majority of cases affect individuals over the age of 65 (late-onset). However, a small percentage can develop symptoms in their 40s or 50s.

How can family members effectively help?

Families help immensely by maintaining comfortable familiar routines, safely securing the home environment, communicating plainly and gently, and seeking specialized caregiver counseling.
