Understanding Dementia Beyond Aging

et me explain dementia in a way most people don’t. Dementia is not a normal part of

aging. It’s a medical condition caused by changes in the brain. It affects memory,

thinking, judgment, language, and behavior — enough to interfere with

daily life. And dementia is not one disease. Alzheimer’s is the most common type,

but there are others, including vascular dementia and Lewy body dementia. Each type affects

the brain differently, which is why care must be personal. So if someone you love is struggling,

they’re not being difficult — their brain is changing. Understanding that changes everything.
