Dementia
What is Dementia?
Dementia is not a single disease but a group of symptoms caused by disorders affecting the brain. It leads to a gradual decline in cognitive functions such as memory, language, reasoning, and judgment. Behavioral changes, confusion, mood disturbances, and difficulty managing routine tasks are common. Early diagnosis and appropriate management can significantly slow progression and improve quality of life.
Types of Dementia We Manage
- Alzheimer’s Disease: The most common form, characterized by progressive memory loss
- Vascular Dementia: Caused by reduced blood flow to the brain
- Lewy Body Dementia: Involves cognitive decline with visual hallucinations and movement symptoms
- Frontotemporal Dementia: Affects personality, behavior, and language
- Mixed Dementia: Combination of two or more dementia types
- Early-Onset Dementia: Dementia occurring before the age of 65
