Introduction to Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
Dementia
Dementia refers to a condition that causes memory loss, language problems, problems with problem-solving, or other cognitive impairments that can interfere with your quality of life.
The brain is the most complex and powerful organ in the human body, guiding how we think, feel, move, and remember. It directs our daily functions, shapes our emotions, and stores the experiences that make us who we are—making brain health essential to overall well-being.
Below, you will find tips and resources to help keep our brain as healthy as possible. You will also learn what steps to take if you have concerns about memory loss for yourself or a loved one, along with links to connect you with our Caregiver SOS program for support with memory loss or cognitive impairment.
