Whoever reads the words "silly" or "dementia" will likely feel a sense of fear in their hearts. However, it does not necessarily mean that aging will inevitably lead to gradual silliness. Dementia is not synonymous with aging. Its main causes can be broadly categorized into two types: cerebrovascular disorder type and Alzheimer's type. If you slightly feel something "strange," it is best to seek the advice of a specialist doctor as soon as possible to obtain the corresponding diagnosis, treatment, and management, which is extremely necessary.
This book will introduce the actual conditions of elderly people with dementia, their helpful countermeasures, as well as the latest knowledge on the pathology and treatment of dementia. It will teach readers how to properly address this condition and provide other advice.
