Serving Pune, Mumbai and clients nationwide, our interdisciplinary team of psychiatrists, geriatric physicians, psychologists, nurses and therapists designs personalised programmes that enhance quality of life at every stage.

What Is Dementia?

Dementia is an umbrella term for progressive conditions that impair cognition, behaviour and functional skills. It is not a normal part of ageing and requires professional assessment and management.

Common Types We Treat

1. Alzheimer's Disease

Gradual memory loss, disorientation, word-finding difficulties.

2. Vascular Dementia

Stepwise decline following strokes or reduced blood flow to the brain.

3. Lewy Body Dementia

Fluctuating cognition, visual hallucinations, Parkinson-like movement changes.

4. Frontotemporal Dementia

Early personality or language changes, relatively preserved memory.

Early detection allows timely intervention, slows decline and supports families in planning.

Signs & Symptoms of Dementia

  • Short-term memory loss (repeating questions, misplacing items)
  • Difficulty with familiar tasks (managing finances, cooking)
  • Language problems (struggling for words, reduced fluency)
  • Disorientation in time or place
  • Poor judgment or unsafe decisions
  • Personality or mood changes, apathy, agitation, anxiety

FAQs

Dementia is a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities severely enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer's is the most common type.

Early signs include memory loss, confusion with time or place, difficulty completing familiar tasks, and changes in mood and personality.

While there is no cure for dementia, treatments focus on managing symptoms, improving quality of life, and providing support through therapies and medications.

The main types include Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, Lewy body dementia, and frontotemporal dementia, each affecting the brain in different ways.

While there is no guaranteed way to prevent dementia, a healthy lifestyle with mental stimulation, physical activity, and social interaction may reduce the risk.
