Features: Dementia is a common disease in old age, and its prevalence rate increases with age. Dementia is characterized by progressive memory decline, loss of acquired knowledge, and the inability to perform work and daily activities. In the early stages, it is often overlooked, and by the time it is detected, it has already progressed to the middle or late stages, resulting in missed treatment opportunities. In the late stages, patients may become completely dependent on caregivers, imposing heavy mental and physical burdens on them and their families. Therefore, the prevention and treatment of this disease have garnered widespread attention from the medical community, public health experts, and society at large. The purpose of this book is to contribute to the prevention, treatment, and care of dementia. It is based on rich clinical experience and provides detailed discussions on the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, differential diagnosis, and treatment of dementia. Additionally, it offers comprehensive introductions to the care of dementia patients. The book is rich in content, easy to understand, and scientifically rigorous, making it a valuable reference for medical professionals involved in dementia care, families of patients, and social workers specializing in elderly care.
