Organic dementia refers to cognitive decline caused by physical brain damage or disease, such as Alzheimer's disease, stroke, or traumatic brain injury, leading to irreversible changes in brain function. Functional dementia, on the other hand, is typically associated with psychiatric conditions or environmental factors, where cognitive impairment may not stem from direct brain pathology but rather from psychological or emotional issues, such as depression or stress. Treatment approaches differ, focusing on addressing underlying medical conditions in organic dementia and psychological support in functional dementia.
