Fading Memories, Lost Daily Life, and Hope for Recovery
Dementia is not a natural process of aging.
From memory loss to personality changes, the decline in brain function is a condition that must be detected and managed early.
Dementia refers to a state where cognitive functions such as memory, language, and judgment decline, impairing the successful performance of activities of daily living.
While Alzheimer's disease is the most common, causes vary, including vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and dementia with Lewy bodies.
In particular, "reversible dementias" caused by depression or medication side effects are treatable, making accurate differential diagnosis essential.
