As people get older, they are likely to notice some changes in their mental abilities. Though these changes can be frustrating, they are a natural part of aging. Dementia is not a normal part of getting older. When a person has dementia, this worsening in mental abilities is much more serious. For a health professional to diagnose dementia, a person's symptoms must be significantly affecting their daily life. This means having difficulties with completing daily tasks about the house, in the community or at work. [SOURCE/READ MORE]: https://lnkd.in/eSfYdGs6

The causes of Alzheimer’s disease are very complex, but one key part is the build-up of two substances inside the brain called amyloid and tau. When conditions in the brain aren’t right, these clump up and form tiny structures called plaques and tangles. These make it harder for the brain to work properly. Over time the disease causes certain parts to become smaller. It also reduces the amount of important chemicals needed to send messages around the brain. Eventually the brain struggles to cope with the damage and the person begins to have problems with memory and thinking. When it gets to the stage where these problems are making it difficult for the person to do everyday tasks that they used to do easily, this is called ‘dementia’. [source: alzhemiers.org.uk]
