Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dementia is the general term used to describe the symptoms of serious memory loss, confusion, problems with speech and comprehension, and problems negotiating normal activities of daily life. Alzheimer's disease is a specific type of dementia, but not all dementia cases are due to Alzheimer's. Parkinson's disease is a movement disorder that may or may not be accompanied by dementia symptoms. Agoraphobia is a type of anxiety disorder and is unrelated to the symptoms described.
