How does dementia affect the brain?
Hello doctor,
I am a 50-year-old lady and have been experiencing memory issues for the past year and it is affecting my daily life. I suspect it might be dementia. Can you help me understand how dementia affects the brain? What specific areas of the brain does dementia impact? How does dementia progress over time? Are there any treatments or lifestyle changes that can slow down dementia progression? How can I manage the embarrassment associated with forgetfulness in social situations?
Thank you.
