Dementia

Here is a short summary about dementia:


Dementia is a term used to describe a group of symptoms that affect memory, thinking and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily life. It is not a specific disease, but several diseases can cause dementia². The most common cause of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, which involves plaques and tangles in the brain²³. Other causes of dementia include damage to blood vessels, infections, metabolic disorders, genetic disorders, and brain injuries¹.


Some of the signs and symptoms of dementia include memory loss, difficulty communicating, confusion, personality changes, depression, anxiety, and hallucinations². Dementia symptoms vary depending on the cause and the part of the brain that is affected². Some forms of dementia may be reversible if the underlying cause is treated², but most types of dementia are progressive and cannot be cured¹.


Dementia is diagnosed by a doctor based on medical history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and cognitive tests¹². Treatment for dementia depends on the cause and may include medication, therapy, and self-care¹. There is no known way to prevent dementia, but some lifestyle factors may reduce the risk of developing it².
