Dementia is a term used to describe a group of symptoms that are associated with a decline in cognitive function. These symptoms can include memory loss, difficulty with language and communication, disorientation, mood changes, and problems with daily activities. Dementia is often caused by a physical condition such as Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, or Parkinson’s disease. It can also be caused by conditions that affect the brain, such as infections, head injury, and certain types of brain tumors. Dementia can have a profound effect on a person’s life and can significantly impact their ability to live independently.
