Dementia is an umbrella term for cognitive decline severe enough to impact daily self-care. Identifying the exact subtype (Vascular, Lewy Body, or FTD) is vital for prescribing correct medications.

MCI is an intermediate state between normal aging and early dementia. It represents a vital window to initiate early preventive care before daily autonomy is lost.

Geriatric depression frequently presents with body aches, fatigue, and memory fog (pseudodementia) rather than typical sadness. With specialized care, emotional vitality can be completely restored.

Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia in seniors. It involves neuro-protein build-up (amyloid plaques & tau tangles) leading to nerve cell loss. Early treatment slows cognitive decline.
