Dementia is the term used to describe the symptoms of a large group of illnesses which cause a progressive decline in a person's mental functioning. Alzheimer's disease and Vascular Dementia are the most common dementia accounting for over 90% of all cases.
Personal stories are a valuable source of information and reassurance. They present first-hand accounts of the day to day challenges others have faced, and give insights into the coping strategies they have used.
