Dementia is the name for a group of symptoms caused by disorders that affect the brain. It is not a specific disease. People with dementia may not be able to think well enough to do normal activities, such as getting dressed or eating. They may lose their ability to solve problems or control their emotions. Their personalities may change. They may become agitated or see things that are not there.

However, certain types of dementia can be treated or reversed if caught in time. The first step is to understand what is and what isn't normal memory loss, the causes of cognitive decline, and how to identify the different types of dementia.
