Dementia
Dementia is a broad term used to describe a group of symptoms associated with a decline in cognitive function severe enough to interfere with daily life. It affects memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgment. Dementia is not a single disease but rather a syndrome caused by various brain illnesses and injuries, including Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies, among others.
Symptoms of Dementia include a decline in cognitive functions such as memory, thinking, and reasoning, significantly impairing daily activities. Key symptoms include memory loss, especially of recent events, difficulty in communication and finding words, disorientation to time and place, and impaired judgment and problem-solving abilities. Individuals may also exhibit changes in mood and behavior, such as increased agitation, anxiety, depression, and apathy, making it challenging to perform routine tasks independently.
