Awareness on Dementia | Dr. Ananya Das & Dr. Aparajita Mitra

Dementia is a general term for loss of memory, language, problem-solving and other thinking abilities that are severe enough to interfere with daily life. Although dementia mainly affects older people, it is not a normal part of ageing. It affects memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgement.
