      Dementia is a disease of the brain, that usually affects older people, but can affect younger adults. Dementia is a group of different diseases, each with its own set of symptoms. Memory loss and changes in behaviour are common symptoms, and this happens because parts of the brain are breaking down and cells are dying.
