Dementia Awareness

Along with our physical health, we need to keep our minds healthy too and a healthy mind helps us later in life as we begin to age.

What is Dementia?

Dementia is not a single illness but a group of symptoms caused by damage to the brain. The symptoms include loss of memory, mood changes and confusion.

Dementia is caused by a number of diseases of the brain, the most common of which is Alzheimer’s disease.
