Dementia refers to a group of conditions that<\/p>\n
progressively impair memory, thinking, language, and the ability to carry out everyday activities.<\/p>\n
It is not a normal part of aging, even though the risk increases with age.<\/p>\n
Early signs can include memory loss that disrupts daily life, difficulty with planning or routine tasks,<\/p>\n
confusion about time or place, trouble finding words, misplacing items without retracing steps,<\/p>\n
and noticeable changes in mood, judgment, or personality. People may also withdraw from social activities.<\/p>\n
Although most dementias have no cure, early recognition is important.<\/p>\n
It allows for proper medical evaluation, better symptom management, and time to plan for future<\/p>\n
care and decisions, while also helping families prepare and access support.<\/p>\n
Healthy habits\u2014such as regular exercise, good sleep, mental stimulation, avoiding smoking,<\/p>\n
limiting alcohol, and managing nutrient levels\u2014may support brain health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
