Dementia and Aging

Dementia is a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities, significantly interfering with daily life. It's not a specific disease but often caused by various conditions, including Alzheimer's disease. Aging increases the risk of developing dementia, as changes in the brain over time can lead to cognitive decline. While some cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, dementia involves more severe memory loss and confusion. Early detection and care can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected. Understanding dementia is crucial for providing support and fostering awareness in our communities.
