Understanding
WHAT DEMENTIA IS
Dementia is a general term used to describe a decline in cognitive function severe enough to interfere with daily life. It is not a single disease but rather a syndrome that encompasses various symptoms caused by damage to brain cells. Common types of dementia include Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. Key symptoms include memory loss, difficulty communicating, impaired reasoning, personality changes, and challenges in performing daily tasks.
