Dementia

Dementia is a collection of symptoms that affect memory, thinking ability and the ability to perform daily tasks. It mainly affects older adults, but can also affect younger people. Symptoms get progressively worse over time and can lead to dependence on others for daily activities and decision-making.

Treatment can help reduce symptoms and improve quality of life, but there is no cure. It is important to seek early diagnosis and support for caregivers and people with dementia.
