Ever wondered if Alzheimer's and dementia mean the same thing? They don't — and knowing the difference can change how you handle memory concerns for yourself or someone you love.

In this episode, Dr. Bass covers:

• Why dementia is an umbrella term, not a diagnosis on its own
• How Alzheimer's fits under that umbrella, and what other conditions can cause similar symptoms
• Why treatable causes like thyroid issues, poor sleep, or medication side effects are often mistaken for dementia
• Simple steps to take if you're noticing memory changes in yourself or a loved one
