As many as four million Americans live with some degree of dementia. Dementia symptoms can be seen in forty percent of people over the age of eighty. As the worldwide elderly population grows, the incidence of Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and other forms of dementia is likely to increase.

Some degree of memory loss is natural as we age. However, when memory loss and impaired thought processing affect daily life and activities, such as getting dressed and communicating, dementia may be the cause. Dementia affects a person's ability to learn, concentrate on tasks, and care for themselves. Dementia can also cause sudden mood changes and personality changes.

Dementia is no laughing matter. Learn about dementia causes, the symptoms of the various types of dementia, treatment options and ways you can prevent or delay dementia or symptom progression.
