Dementia ( taken from Latin, originally meaning " madness ", from de-" without " + ment, the root of mens " mind ") is a serious loss of global cognitive ability in a previously unimpaired person, beyond what might be expected from normal aging.

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, though often treatable to some degree, is usually due to causes that are progressive and incurable as observed in primary progressive aphasia ( PPA ).

Dementia is not merely a problem of memory.

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 with Lewy bodies is another fairly common cause, which again may occur alongside either or both of the other causes.

Dementia is much less common under 65 years of age.

Near the hospital Pheasants ' Ridge is an assisted living facility which has a section for patients suffering from memory loss due to Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia.

Dementia is usually not associated with a change in level of consciousness, and a diagnosis of dementia requires a chronic impairment.

Another early pioneer of the subgenre is director Francis Ford Coppola's controversial 1963 film Dementia 13, which was rushed into production following Psycho < nowiki >'</ nowiki > s success at the box office.

The Dementia Collaborative Research Centre ’ s ( DCRC ) purpose is to conduct research to improve diagnosis, reduce the risk of dementia and improve the quality of life of people living with dementia, their families and carers.

Dementia with Lewy bodies ( DLB ), also known under a variety of other names including Lewy body dementia, diffuse Lewy body disease, cortical Lewy body disease, and senile dementia of Lewy type, is a type of dementia closely associated with both Alzheimers and Parkinson's Diseases.

Dementia with Lewy bodies overlaps clinically with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, but is more associated with the latter.

It is, however, briefly mentioned in the DSM-IV-TR ( published in 2000 ) under Dementia Due to Other General Medical Conditions.

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.

Mesulam's original description in 1982 of progressive language problems caused by neurodegenerative disease ( which he called Primary Progressive Aphasia ( PPA ) included patients with progressive non-fluent ( PNFA ), Semantic Dementia ( SD ), and Logopenic progressive aphasia ( LPA ).

A 2005 study has evidenced that a substantial amount of VRS in the substantia innominata, lentiform nucleus, and the caudate nucleus of the basal ganglia may implicate dementia due to arteriosclerotic microvascular disease, in particular Ischemic Vascular Dementia, as opposed dementia due to neurodegenerative disease, specifically Alzheimer ’ s disease and frontotemporal dementia.

Dementia with Lewy bodies ( DLB ), may or may not be part of the PD spectrum, but it is increasingly recognized as the second most common type of neurodegenerative dementia after Alzheimer's disease.

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

* Dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and Huntington ’ s disease.

Lewy bodies are abnormal aggregates of protein that develop inside nerve cells in Parkinson's disease ( PD ), Lewy Body Dementia and some other disorders.

Cortical Lewy bodies are a distinguishing feature of Dementia with Lewy bodies ( DLB ) and may occasionally be seen in ballooned neurons characteristic of Pick's disease and corticobasal degeneration, as well as in patients with other tauopathies.

They are a feature of α-synucleinopathies such as Dementia with Lewy bodies, Parkinson's disease and multiple system atrophy ( MSA ), and are found in the CA2-3 region of the hippocampus in Alzheimer's disease.

People diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, narcolepsy-cataplexy syndrome, delirium tremens, Lewy Body Dementia, and temporal lobe epilepsy are more prone to complex visual hallucinations such as peduncular hallucinosis.

Dementia types include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, frontotemporal dementia, Korsakoff's syndrome, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, HIV related cognitive impairment, mild cognitive impairment, and other rarer causes of dementia.

Meyer's critical role in reframing Emil Kraepelin's dementia praecox disease concept into a uniquely American psychogenic republic of " reactions " is detailed in Richard Noll, American Madness: The Rise and Fall of Dementia Praecox ( Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2011 ).
