ABSTRACT
In this article, the occurrence, diagnosis, varieties, and prevalence of dementia in the world are discussed in the context of international literature. Dementia is not the name of a single disease but is the common name given to all diseases that lead to impaired memory and similar mental abilities. All of these diseases cause a number of changes in the brain, revealing specific findings of the disease. Dementia diseases are not an expected and absolute condition of the aging brain. Alzheimer's disease accounts for more than 60% of all dementia. 'Vascular dementia', which occurs after a stroke, is the second most common type of dementia. Some of the diseases diagnosed as dementia are diseases that have no definite cure and make it impossible to return to the old state (such as Alzheimer's), while others are diseases that can be cured by treatment. There is no definitive way to prevent dementia, but some changes in living standards can delay the onset of dementia or slow its progression. If you have any doubts about dementia, don't forget to check up.
