Dementia is not a natural part of aging but rather a severe decline in cognitive functions like memory, thinking, and reasoning, which can be caused by various health conditions or injuries. The most common types of dementia include Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, and Lewy body dementia, with symptoms progressing through mild, moderate, and severe stages, each impacting a person’s ability to function independently. While there is no cure for dementia, treatments like medications and non-drug therapies can help manage symptoms, and lifestyle changes targeting modifiable risk factors such as alcohol consumption, high blood pressure, and hearing loss may help prevent or delay the onset of some cases.
