Dementia is more a deterioration of cognition, and this is just how humans experience the same basic deterioration of neural function, often with language loss and impairment.  With Alzheimer’s, a particular brain protein starts to fail, and it leads to symptoms like difficulty remembering words, impaired judgment, and getting lost in familiar places.
