Disorders classified below the general term “dementia” are caused by abnormal brain changes. These changes trigger a decline in thinking skills, also referred to as cognitive abilities, severe enough to impair everyday life and independent operate. They also have an effect on behavior, feelings and relationships. and Memory loss is a distressing part of dementia, both for the person with the condition and for the people around them.
