Overview

Dementia is a group of cognitive and behavioural symptoms that results from damage to neurons in the brain. It affects memory, thinking, language, and behaviour. Dementia is a progressive disease, which means that symptoms worsen over time. It is estimated that dementia affects over 35 million people globally, and is the leading cause of disability in older adults. Dementia is often accompanied by depression, anxiety, and agitation, which can significantly affect the quality of life of those affected and their family members. Early diagnosis and treatment, such as cognitive therapy and lifestyle changes, can help to slow the progression of dementia and improve the quality of life of those affected.
