Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of progressive conditions that affect the brain.
There are numerous type of dementia(Alzheimer’s,Vascular dementia,Lewy body dementia,Frontotemporal dementia,Mixed dementia); conditions grouped under the generalised term “dementia” are caused by abnormal changes to the brain, and normally affect the person’s memory. The brain is made up of billions of neurones (nerve cells) that communicate with each other through chemical signals. If a person has dementia, these neurones are damaged which means that these messages cannot be sent efficiently which in turn affects all functions of the body.
