In Alzheimer's brain begins to get damaged long before the symptoms are visible. Alzheimer's may cause the brain to shrink and lose the connection. Let's have a look on the

symptoms of these conditions as mentioned by the doctors at Mayo Clinic to be more clear. Symptoms of Dementia are as follows: * Loss of memory noticed by others * Difficulty in

communication * Difficulty in recognising visuals or images * Poor decision making or problem solving * Inability to plan or organise * InabilIty to perform complex tasks * Feeling confused

and disoriented According Mayo Clinic, symptoms of Alzheimer's include: * Forgetting recent conversation or events * Repeating questions and statements * Misplacing their possessions *

Unable to find their way back in familiar places * Forgetting the names of friends or family * Difficulty in using the right words, expressing thoughts, etc Generally, the risk of dementia

increases as you age but several factors can be a cause for dementia like the few degenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkison's, or Hanington's. Brain cells are generally

damaged in dementia and about 60-80% of dementia cases are caused due to Alzheimer's. Dementia affects different parts of the brain and that is why the symptoms may differ in people.

Other causes may include: * HIV infections * Stroke * Excessive drug use * Depression According to Mayo Clinic, Alzheimer's may be caused due to genetic mutations, tangles and plaques

formation in the brain. Plaques are the group of proteins called beta-amyloids and the tangles are made of tau-protein. These damage the healthy neurons of the brain cells and affect their

connectivity.
