Yes, but isn't that because of the lack of memory?
I seriously know very little about this condition, so feel free to lecture me! (and I don't have a lot of time right now to wiki it)

No, memory loss (aphasia) is only one symptom; it is also a symptom of other types of dementia.

NIH Wrote:Alzheimer’s disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually even the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer’s, symptoms first appear after age 60. Estimates vary, but experts suggest that as many as 5.1 million Americans may have Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia among older people. Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning—thinking, remembering, and reasoning—and behavioral abilities, to such an extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. Dementia ranges in severity from the mildest stage, when it is just beginning to affect a person’s functioning, to the most severe stage, when the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of daily living.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
