INTRODUCTION
The study highlights the mechanisms by which brain damage impacts information processing and cognitive functions. It also underscores the importance of early diagnosis in mitigating symptoms and improving the quality of life for those with dementia. Additionally, it explores the effectiveness of the person-centred approach in dementia care, emphasising its role in tailoring treatment to individual needs, promoting recognition, and supporting cognitive functions. This comprehensive approach aims to enhance the overall health and independence of individuals living with dementia.
1.1 Causes of Dementia Syndrome
Dementia refers to a group of symptoms that affect the memory, social abilities as well as thinking process of an individual. It can also be defined as memory loss, decline in problem-solving skills, language identification, and thinking skills. There are several causes of dementia syndrome which include: Alzheimer's, vascular, Pick's disease, and Huntington's disease.
1. Alzheimer's: One of the most common and important causes of dementia syndrome is Alzheimer's. It is caused by some progressive changes as well as damage to the brain. When the brain is damaged it affects the way of communication of an individual due to the dying of brain cells and decelerators of connectors (Sheets, 2017). Alzheimer's disease which is the main cause of dementia is found and accounts for approximately 60-80% of cases. There are several regions and parts of the brain that perform several functions like movement, memory, etc. But when cells of a particular part of the brain get damaged then it stops functioning and it becomes the reason for dementia and memory loss. Pick' disease is like Alzheimer's which is the main cause of dementia but it is somehow far less common. It affects those parts of the brain that control human behaviours and emotions, personality, and the identification of languages. Mood changes, poor social skills, and repetitive behaviours are some symptoms of this disease or cause of
