Dementia is a broad term for a group of conditions that affect memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type, but vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and others exist. While dementia is more common in older adults, it is not a normal part of aging.
While there’s no cure for most types of dementia, early diagnosis and supportive care can greatly improve quality of life.
