3. Dementia is a serious illness of the mind. an illness that affects the brain and memory, and makes you gradually lose the ability to think and behave normally (mens ). Chronic, usually progressive deterioration of intellectual functions. Most common in the elderly, it usually begins with short-term-memory loss once thought a normal result of aging but now known to result from Alzheimer disease. Other common causes are Pick disease and vascular disease. Dementia also occurs in Huntington chorea, paresis (see: paralysis), and some types of encephalitis. Treatable causes include hypothyroidism (see: thyroid gland), other metabolic diseases, and some malignant tumours. Treatment may arrest dementia's progress but usually does not reverse it.
