Dementia: Dementia is not a specific disease. It's an overall term that describes a wide range of symptoms associated with a decline in memory or other thinking skills severe enough to reduce a person's ability to perform everyday activities. The most common dementia is Alzheimer's accounting for approximately 40—70% of all dementias. Vascular dementia, which occurs after a stroke, is the 2nd most common dementia type (15 — 25%). But there are many other dementias such as Parkinson's, Lewy Body, Fronto Temporal, brain traumas, Huntington's, and alcohol-related diseases. Thyroid problems and vitamin deficiencies are conditions that can cause symptoms of dementia but are usually reversible. Dementia is often incorrectly referred to as •senility' or 'senile dementia', which reflects the formerly widespread but incorrect belief that serious mental decline is a normal part of aging.  

People With dementia may have problems With confusion, short-term memory loss, keeping track Of personal belongings, planning, and preparing meals. remembering appointments, taking medications, etc. Core mental functions significantly impaired by dementia include memory, communication, and language, ability to focus and pay attention, reasoning and judgment, visual perception. Dementia is caused by damage to brain cells interfering with their ability to communicate with each other.
