Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a collection of symptoms caused by diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease or aging. A common result of dementia is memory loss which can be gradual and to such an extent that some people will experience difficulties remembering even close family such as siblings, children and parents. This massively impacts the lives of relatives as well as the one suffering. Other signs of dementia include confusion, behavior changes and depression.
While there is no cure, there are certain treatments that show promise and have some effect. There’s research to suggest that a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a nutritious diet may lower the risk of developing Alzheimer’s, and a number of studies suggest that strong social connections and intellectual activity may lower the chance of cognitive decline. Additionally, health technology and the use of digital innovations have proven to help remembering the past.
