Dementia refers to a group of symptoms (cognitive decline, memory loss, behavioral changes, etc.) that result from an underlying disease (such as Alzheimer's disease) and significantly impair daily functioning. Delirium is a more acute and transient condition characterized by confusion, disorientation, rapid changes in cognition, and often caused by illness or medication. Relapse refers to the return of symptoms after a period of improvement, typically in the context of mental health.
