Dementia is a general term used to describe a decline in cognitive function that interferes with daily life. It affects memory, thinking, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday activities. Dementia is not a single disease but rather a syndrome caused by various conditions, the most common being Alzheimer's disease.
Causes and Types
Common causes of dementia include:
• Alzheimer’s disease – the most prevalent form, marked by abnormal brain changes.
• Vascular dementia – caused by reduced blood flow to the brain.
• Lewy body dementia – involves abnormal protein deposits in the brain.
• Frontotemporal dementia – affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.
Dementia can also be caused by other conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, and certain infections.
Symptoms
Early signs include memory loss, confusion, difficulty with language, and changes in mood or behaviour. As dementia progresses, individuals may struggle with basic tasks, lose the ability to communicate, and require full-time care.
Diagnosis and Treatment
Dementia is a serious and growing global health issue. Diagnosis is based on medical history, cognitive tests, brain imaging, and lab tests. While there is no cure for most forms of dementia, treatments can help manage symptoms. Medications, cognitive therapies, and supportive care play vital roles in improving quality of life.
