What is dementia?
Dementia is a group of symptoms caused by specific brain disorders.
The most common cause is Alzheimer’s disease, but it can also be the result of a stroke or mini-strokes.
Dementia is progressive, which means that the symptoms will get worse over time. It can happen to anyone and there is currently no cure, but treatments can slow the progression of the disease. There are also ways to help keep it manageable.
