Cognitive disorder (Dementia) is a syndrome characterised by persistent deterioration in multiple cognitive functions (such as memory, thinking, language, and judgment) due to brain diseases or injuries, severe enough to disrupt daily life. It encompasses several types, with Alzheimer's disease being the most common. Although most forms are irreversible, active treatment and care are crucial for maintaining patients' quality of life and alleviating caregivers' burdens. If you or a loved one exhibits suspected symptoms, seek prompt medical evaluation to identify the cause and receive proper assessment and support.
