Overview

Dementia is a term used to describe a group of degenerative brain diseases that affects areas of the brain controlling thought, behavior, and movement. Symptoms include memory loss, difficulty understanding language, disorientation, and difficulty with problem solving. Dementia is the leading cause of disability in later life, and the number of people living with the condition is increasing due to longer life expectancy. Research is ongoing to discover effective treatment and prevention. Treatments may focus on improving daily functioning through medications and lifestyle changes, such as physical and mental exercises and social activities. Early detection is key to ensure the best possible quality of life for those living with the condition and those that are at risk.
