One condition that is not potentially reversible and can mimic dementia is Alzheimer's disease. This progressive neurodegenerative disorder leads to irreversible cognitive decline and memory loss, affecting daily functioning. Unlike some reversible conditions, such as vitamin deficiencies or thyroid disorders, Alzheimer's typically worsens over time without a cure. Early diagnosis and intervention can help manage symptoms, but the underlying disease is not reversible.
