Diagnostic work up and treatment of dementia

Dementia is defined as a progressive decline in cognitive function, with memory being especially affected. It is associated with a progressive decrease in the patient’s intellect accompanied by reduced emotional control and a deterioration of social functioning. The acquired cognitive and behavioural impairment will eventually become of sufficient severity that it interferes with social and occupational functioning of the patient.
