Senile dementia, often referred to simply as dementia, is a progressive decline in mental function that commonly occurs in older adults. It is characterized by memory loss, confusion, reduced judgment, and difficulty with language, reasoning, and problem-solving. Senile dementia can significantly impact a person's ability to perform daily tasks independently and may also affect their mood and behavior. While aging is the primary risk factor for senile dementia, it can also be caused by underlying medical conditions such as Alzheimer's disease. Treatment typically focuses on managing symptoms, providing support to the individual and their caregivers, and addressing any underlying medical conditions contributing to the dementia.
