🧠 What Is Dementia?
Dementia is not a single disease — it’s an umbrella term describing a decline in memory, problem-solving, language, judgment, or behavior severe enough to affect daily life. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form.
Dementia impacts individuals and their families. Early education, community support, and professional resources can make a major difference in quality of life.
If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out to one of the trusted organizations below.
