Overview
Dementia is a serious neurodegenerative disease that leads to a decline in some neuronal populations. As a result, higher cognitive functions are affected, such as memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, counting, learning, speech, and judgment. Appropriate medical and nursing care using various strategies can, to a certain extent, compensate for the affected cognitive functions and maintain the quality of life of the patient with this disease. Dementia therapy is based on two interacting pillars – non-pharmacological procedures and pharmacotherapy.
Keywords:
cognitive functions – dementia – Alzheimer‘s disease – compensation of cognitive functions
