How Dementia Affects the Brain and Current Treatment Approaches
Understanding what happens in the brain during dementia and the treatments available to support quality of life.
Dementia damages neurons (brain cells) and the connections between them. Different types of dementia affect different parts of the brain first, leading to specific symptoms. While there is no cure, medications, therapies, and lifestyle changes can slow symptom progression and improve daily living. Early diagnosis is critical for effective care planning and support.
