Dementia - Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options

Dementia is the name for a group of symptoms caused by disorders that affect the brain. It is not a specific disease. People with dementia may not be able to think well enough to do normal activities, such as getting dressed or eating. They may lose their ability to solve problems or control their emotions. Their personalities may change. They may become agitated or see things that are not there.

Memory loss is a common symptom of dementia. However, memory loss by itself does not mean you have dementia. People with dementia have serious problems with two or more brain functions, such as memory and language. Although dementia is common in very elderly people, it is not part of normal aging.

Many different diseases can cause dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and stroke. Drugs are available to treat some of these diseases. While these drugs cannot cure dementia or repair brain damage, they may improve symptoms or slow down the disease.

Good-afternoon. ☹️ My Mother, has dementia. The thing is, I never thought she would contract, such a horrible disease. Why do these things happen? She, was such a lovely and beautiful Woman. I am really trying to come to terms, with her illness. She was such an angel.
I, will support her though. Maintain her respect and dignity.
Thank you.
Mr Francesca Kray. 🌹

Sometimes forgetting how to spell certain words can be a symptom of dementia;
example: "abality" vs "ability", "tomarow" vs " tomarrow".

i'm writing this one dec 10, 2022 because i think i have dementia, i cant read subtitle as fast as before i have to pause and reread, im having a hard time to focus too, back then when i see a world i can see it instantly but now its kinda slow, i also need to reread the sentence again and again because i cant understand it, been having trouble remembering things too like what am i supposed to do after i go into the room. i can regain my memory but i always forget them. its getting hard to think too, back then i can think just fine im always at the top of the class, but now my curiousity is not that good, and i also cant think clear.
