It is a collection of symptoms which affects mental processes in a number of ways, from impaired communication to memory loss. it is caused by a number of specific conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Vascular dementia.

Dementia ranges in severity from the mildest stage, when it is just beginning to affect a person's functioning, to the most severe stage, when the person must depend completely on others for basic activities of living.

Types and Symptoms of dementia

There are different types of dementia, the most common ones being Alzheimer's, Vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, etc. Dementia occurs as a result of the death of once-healthy neurons or nerve cells. Once these neurons lose connection with other brain cells and die, a person would begin to experience the symptoms of dementia.
