In this video, we’ll explore what dementia is, its causes, common triggers, and the most effective treatments available. Dementia is not a specific disease but a general term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interfere with everyday activities.”

Dementia is a collective term used to describe a range of symptoms associated with a decline in cognitive function severe enough to interfere with daily life. It is not a specific disease, but rather a syndrome characterized by impairments in memory, communication, and thinking. Common symptoms include memory loss, difficulties with problem-solving or language, and changes in mood or behaviour. Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent form of dementia, but there are other types, such as vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia. These conditions are caused by various factors, including damage to brain cells, which affects their ability to communicate with each other. As a progressive condition, dementia typically worsens over time, making early diagnosis and management crucial to improving quality of life for those affected.
