Dementia is not a single disease, but rather a non-specific illness syndrome ( i. e., set of signs and symptoms ) in which affected areas of cognition may be memory, attention, language, and problem solving.

Dementia which begins gradually and worsens progressively over several years is usually caused by neurodegenerative disease ; that is, by conditions affecting only or primarily the neurons of the brain and causing gradual but irreversible loss of function of these cells.

Dementia usually results from an identifiable degenerative brain disease ( for example Alzheimer disease or Huntington's disease ).

It can be caused by adverse reactions to certain drugs or else during drug withdrawal ; however it is most often associated with the elderly and in those with neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson disease, and other neurodegenerative diseases for example multiple system atrophy and Lewy Body Dementia.

Dementia testing is often done by way of testing the cognitive functions that are most often impaired by the disease e. g. memory, orientation, language and problem solving.
