Dementia is a family of conditions that includes Alzheimer's Disease. Even though dementia is the second leading cause of death after heart disease, over 70 per cent of Australians admit that they know very little about it. What’s more, almost half of the population do not realise that dementia is fatal. In fact, a quarter of us believe that it is just a normal part of ageing.
The truth is that dementia is a serious disease of the brain which affects memory, cognition and behaviour. Dementia cannot yet be cured, but there are treatments and services available for people living with dementia and their families that can help people with dementia live independent and purposeful lives in the community.
