Dementia

Alzheimer's disease (AD), generally known as Alzheimer's, is a progressive neurological disease that begins slowly and worsens with time. It is responsible for 60 to 70% of dementia cases. The most prevalent early sign is short-term memory loss, or the inability to recall recent events. As the condition progresses, symptoms may include linguistic difficulties, disorientation (including the ability to quickly become lost), mood changes, loss of motivation, inability to manage self-care, and behavioural problems. When a person's health deteriorates, they frequently retreat from family and society. Bodily functions gradually deteriorate, eventually leading to death.

Mental health is a higher level of emotional and behavioural condition. Greater than 200 categorized forms of mental illness conditions are there. Mental health includes an individual’s potential to enjoy life and create a balance between normal life activities and efforts to achieve human resilience. Psychiatry is defined as a proactive and positive approach to living that increases resiliency to stress by promoting life balance and contentment. It mainly concerns about maintaining mental, emotional and physical health. It is determined by overall patterns of thoughts, emotions, behaviors and body reactions.

People with dementia frequently suffer from apathy, despair, and worry. Because they might impair a person's emotional and mental health, they are referred to as psychological conditions. Anxiety is defined as a state of mind that is more than just concerned or worried. Anxious sensations are a natural reaction to being under pressure, and they normally subside once the stressful circumstance has gone or the'stressor' has been removed. Depression has an impact on a person's self-esteem. A person's interest in work, hobbies, and activities that he or she ordinarily enjoys may wane. Some people may be tired, have trouble sleeping, or sleep more than they should, while others may be nervous or angry, and find it difficult to focus.

It affects the nervous tissue and also causes various neuropsychological effects. This is a term for a variety of conditions that affect neurons in the human brain in particular. The development of neurodegenerative diseases has demonstrated that genetic and environmental factors play an important role. Age is one of the main risk factors common to all types of neurodegenerative disease as it commonly progresses in older age.

At the molecular and cellular level, ageing is caused by the accumulation of a range of molecular and cellular damage throughout time. This results in a gradual loss of physical and mental capacity, increased disease risk, and eventually, death. However, these changes are not linear or consistent, and they are only tangentially related to a person's chronological age. It is about creating conditions and opportunities that allow people to be and do what they value throughout their lives to achieve healthy ageing. Being free of disease or infirmity is not a requirement for healthy ageing, as many older adults have one or more health conditions that, when well controlled, have little impact on their wellbeing.
