what happens to the mind with dementia
Dementia is the name given to a group of conditions that cause severe memory loss, personality changes and difficulties with everyday life. Alzheimerâs disease is the most common type of dementia. The second most common type is vascular dementia (multi-infarct dementia), in which blood flow to the brain is disrupted. Someone with dementia will experience more than the minor memory lapses considered part of the normal ageing process.
