What is "dementia"?

Dementia is a mental condition characterized by a decline in mental abilities, including memory loss, difficulty with reasoning, judgment, and communication, and changes in behavior. It is typically caused by damage or disease in the brain, such as Alzheimer's disease or stroke. Dementia can significantly impact a person's ability to function independently and may affect their quality of life.
