Dementia
Dementia is a group of conditions characterized by progressive decline in cognitive function that interferes with daily activities and independence. It affects memory, thinking, reasoning, language, and behavior, and is most common in older adults. Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause of dementia, followed by vascular dementia and other types. Symptoms often begin with mild forgetfulness and gradually worsen over time, leading to confusion, difficulty communicating, and changes in personality. Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells, which affects their ability to communicate with each other. Although there is no cure, early diagnosis allows better symptom management and planning of care. Treatment focuses on medications to slow progression, cognitive therapies, and supportive care. Public health efforts emphasize awareness, risk reduction through healthy lifestyles, caregiver support, and development of dementia-friendly communities to improve quality of life.
