In advanced stages, ALS patients end up paralyzed and experience difficulty speaking, eating, swallowing, and breathing.

When an individual has dementia, their daily routine and activities are adversely affected due to the deterioration of their ability to think, remember, make decisions, reason, and solve problems. Aside from cognitive decline, dementia patients tend to have behavioral symptoms such as depression, anxiety, aggression, and agitation.
