Dementia

What is Dementia

Dementia is a syndrome (a group of related symptoms) associated with an ongoing decline of brain functioning. There are many different causes of dementia, and many different types. Dementia is not only about memory loss. It can also affect the way you speak, think, feel and behave.

It is important to remember that dementia is not a natural part of ageing.

Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia and, together with vascular dementia, makes up the majority of cases.
