Why Does Dementia Happen? 

Dementia occurs due to damage or degeneration of brain cells, affecting memory, thinking, and behaviour. Several factors contribute to its development, including:

 

• Neurodegenerative Diseases – Conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Lewy body dementia gradually destroy brain cells.

• Vascular Issues – Reduced blood flow to the brain, often due to strokes or high blood pressure, can lead to vascular dementia.

• Infections & Diseases – Conditions like meningitis, HIV, or syphilis may contribute to cognitive decline.

• Lifestyle & Genetics – Poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and genetic predisposition can increase the risk.

Mild Vs Severe Dementia
 

While mild dementia cases—such as those involving memory loss, difficulty with puzzles, reading, or daily activities—can often be managed at home or in a dementia day care centre, moderate to severe dementia presents unique challenges that require professional intervention.
