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.

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.
