Dementia isn't a specific disease. Instead, dementia describes a group of symptoms affecting thinking and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily functioning. Dementia involves damage of nerve cells in the brain, which may occur in several areas of the brain. Dementia may affect people differently, depending on the area of the brain affected.
The factors that causes this disease that you can’t change, they are age, family history, down syndrome.
Sometimes I think we all would like to change one or two of these. But sorry to say we can’t. Now here are some factors that we can control and change in our life that can cause this disease alcohol use, smoking, obesity, blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, high estrogen levels, homocysteine blood vessels, and atherosclerosis. Now I know you are thinking how in the world can, I control these things. It is called seeing a family physician and having regular check-up done and testing. Preventive Care I believe is what this is called.
Dementia symptoms vary depending on the cause, but common signs and symptoms include: Memory loss, difficulty with complex tasks, hallucinations, paranoia, inability to reason, problems with disorientation, such as getting lost, difficulty communicating, personality changes, agitations, difficulty with coordination and motor functions, inappropriate behavior, and difficulty with planning and organizing.
Wow with all these symptoms how in the world would they be able diagnose anything. Some of this sound just like Alzheimers.
How is Dementia acquired: Referring to a medical condition occurring after birth and not inherent. “Predisposition: A tendency to be affected by a particular disease or condition, Abnormality: Physical abnormality as a disease risk factor, Inherited: Transmitted through genes that have been passed from parents to their offspring,
