describe degenerative diseases that affect memory and general cognitive ability.\u00a0 Alzheimer\u2019s disease is one type of dementia, and it accounts for 60 to 80 percent of total dementia cases.\u00a0 Once someone becomes affected by dementia, the symptoms will worsen over time and come to affect long-term memory as well as the ability for those affected to care for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>The earliest signs of dementia are easy to miss as things like occasional lapses in short term memory could just be signs of normal aging.\u00a0 However, consistent memory issues could mean the onset of dementia.<\/p>\n<p>The following are common symptoms of Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia to watch for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Short-term and eventually long-term memory issues<\/li>\n<li>Difficulty holding a conversation<\/li>\n<li>Impaired reasoning<\/li>\n<li>Irrational behavior and mood swings<\/li>\n<li>Visual and spatial
