Dementia refers to a cluster of symptoms impacting memory, cognitive functions, and
social skills, significantly affecting the daily lives of those experiencing it
It’s not a singular disease but a term encompassing various conditions leading to
similar symptoms.
Memory loss is a prevalent aspect of dementia, frequently observed as an early sign.
However, memory loss alone doesn’t necessarily indicate dementia, as it can have
diverse underlying causes.
Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent contributor to dementia in older adults, but
multiple factors can trigger dementia.
