Dementia is a term that can involve many types of disabilities resulting in the decline of memory, the ability to think and reason, and the ability for persons to care for themselves. For dementia to be considered, the symptoms must interfere with their daily life. These symptoms need to involve more than one category of brain function, such as memory, communication, judgment, or language. Different dementias have different symptoms and progress in different ways. | Me Mom and Dementia by Quinn Morris, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
