What Is Dementia?
Dementia is an umbrella term for a collection of conditions that affect mental cognitive abilities and causes a progress decrease in ability to think. Though it is difficult to know the exact number of people living with the condition, it is estimated that 850,000 Britons live with dementia today. It is important to note that every individual is unique and will experience dementia in their own way, but usual presentations involve:
Difficulty performing familiar tasks
Memory loss
Difficulty planning and concentrating
Difficulty with communication and language
Difficulty determining time and place
Behavioural and mood changes

Misplacing things
Dementia is diagnosed based on careful medical examination, laboratory test, extensive medical history taking and a physical examination. With adequate attention, care and understanding, dementia sufferers can find some respite from the difficulty and stresses that come with the condition. Dementia is not a condition exclusive to the elderly. In 2013, there were 42,325 people with early-onset dementia (onset before the age of 65 years) in the UK.We provide specialist care to adults of all ages living with the condition.
