IMHO Alzheimer’s disease is not a single disease but rather a collection of diseases that exhibit similar symptoms and pathologies. I based this opinion on years of observations of old people I know.
- vidarh 4y agoDementia is a syndrome. Alzheimer's is just one form of dementia. Unless you knew the specific diagnosis of the old people you've observed you might just have observed people with different forms of dementia. It's possible Alzheimer's itself will turn out to be a syndrome, but if so it still forms a very specific subset of dementia.
