What is Dementia?
Dementia encompasses a range of progressive symptoms and conditions that affect the normal functioning of the brain and memory.
The brain consists of billions of neurons, or nerve cells, which communicate through chemical signals. Dementia causes these neurons to deteriorate, impairing the brain’s ability to function normally.
Initially, the effects on the body may be subtle, but they intensify as the condition progresses. The symptoms experienced by someone with dementia depend on both the underlying disease causing dementia and the parts of the brain affected.
