Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about this condition. Can't find what you need? Chat with us directly.

Dementia is a progressive decline in memory, thinking, and daily function. Alzheimer's disease accounts for 60–70% of cases. Other causes include vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia.

Early signs: repeated questions, getting lost in familiar places, difficulty with finances, personality changes, and inability to manage medications.

No cure, but cholinesterase inhibitors (donepezil, rivastigmine) and memantine slow progression. Reversible causes (B12 deficiency, thyroid, infection) can be fully treated.

If memory problems affect daily life, progress over months, or come with confusion, personality change, or difficulty with familiar tasks — seek evaluation promptly.
