How does dementia start?
The onset of dementia may be abrupt (trauma or stroke) but is more often gradual. Although most dementing illnesses are progressive, in some cases the course of dementia may be modified by appropriate therapeutic interventions. Despite accurate identification of the cause of the dementia and provision of symptomatic treatment, affected patients typically suffer marked and progressive impairment in occupational and social functioning. The economic, social, and psychological cost of dementing illnesses on patients and their families is staggering.
