Dementia is a brain condition. It’s not a normal part of ageing.
The effects of dementia vary, but generally, dementia affects your mood, memory, thinking and behaviour.
Dementia can happen to anybody, but it is much more common after the age of 65.
There’s currently no known cure for dementia, but there are treatments for many of the symptoms, and support is available.
