Summary
Amnesia and dementia both involve memory loss, but they differ sharply in cause and impact. Amnesia refers specifically to the loss of memory— either of past events (retrograde) or of the ability to form new ones (anterograde). It can result from brain injury, alcohol misuse, medications, stroke, infections, or even brief, unexplained episodes. Dementia, by contrast, affects multiple cognitive abilities, including memory, language, attention, and problem‑solving, and usually reflects progressive brain dysfunction. While Alzheimer’s disease often begins with memory loss and can cause amnesia, dementia encompasses a broader decline in thinking skills. Accurate diagnosis by a specialist helps guide treatment and care.
