What is Dementia
Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a number of brain disorders that trigger a loss of brain function.
The brain is made up of billions of neurons, or nerve cells, that communicate with each other through chemical signals. Dementia causes these neurons to deteriorate, making it harder for the brain to function normally.
Dementia is progressive, which means that the symptoms get gradually worse. How fast dementia progresses will be dependent on the individual, as each person is unique and will experience dementia in their own way.
Dementia is one of the most severe and devastating disorders we face. It is also very common.
