Do people with alzheimers/dementia know who they are but are just unable to express it?

Something I’m wondering cuz my mom has had dementia for 5 yrs now. Do these people TRULY don’t remember anything or they do but this disease/condition is somehow “imprisoning” them, so to speak, from being able to physically communicate to us? Sorry if this sounds weird or confusing I’m trying to be as clear as I can.

I guess what I’m asking is are these diseases like a form of “possession”? Not by spirits, but from a health condition I mean. Are these people truly not there AT ALL?
