Dementia
Dementia is a progressive disease, which causes memory loss, mood changes, difficulties with communication and affects the way people think, feel and behave.
Dementia can affect adults of all ages, but is much rarer in people under the age of 65.
There is currently no cure for dementia but treatments can slow the progression of the symptoms. An early diagnosis can help people get the right treatment and support to live well with dementia, and help those close to them to prepare and plan for the future.
