Dementia

Dementia is a symptom of a wide range of conditions that affect the brain. It is characterised by a decline in cognitive function, including memory, language, problem-solving, and judgement. It can also affect behaviour, emotions, and the ability to perform everyday activities. Symptoms typically develop gradually and worsen over time. They may include confusion, difficulty with communication and language, difficulty with memory and concentration, difficulty with daily activities, changes in mood and personality, and visual hallucinations.
