Senile dementia is not classified as a single illness but rather a broad term used to describe the gradual decline in cognitive abilities, most often seen in the elderly.
While Alzheimer’s disease is the leading cause, there are other forms as well. This condition affects thinking, memory, and daily functioning. Some of the most frequent symptoms include:
1. Memory issues, especially short-term
Individuals may forget recent events, scheduled appointments, or conversations.
They often ask the same questions multiple times.
2. Struggles with language
For illustrative purpose only
They may have trouble forming complete sentences or recalling names.
Often, they resort to using vague terms like “thing” or “it.”
3. Confusion about time and location
They might lose track of the date or time.
They may become disoriented in places that should be familiar.
4. Emotional and behavioral changes
Sudden irritability, sadness, or anxiety without a clear reason.
