Dementia is a general term for a decline in cognitive function severe enough to interfere with daily life, affecting memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgment. Alzheimer's disease, the most common cause of dementia, is a progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. The exact cause of Alzheimer's is not fully understood, but it involves the build-up of proteins in the brain, leading to the loss of connections between nerve cells and the eventual death of these cells. Early symptoms include difficulty remembering recent events, while later symptoms can include confusion, mood swings, and withdrawal from family and society. While there is currently no cure for Alzheimer's, treatments and support can help manage symptoms.
