Dementia is a group of symptoms that affects memory, thinking, behavior, and the ability to perform daily activities. It is usually caused by damage to the brain, most commonly from Alzheimer's disease, but can also be caused by other conditions. Dementia can be progressive and debilitating, and it is often a concern for elderly individuals and their families.
Disease: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement. It is caused by a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, leading to symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
A stroke is a serious, life-threatening medical condition that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is disrupted, causing damage to the brain cells. Strokes can cause a range of symptoms, including weakness or paralysis, difficulty speaking or understanding speech, vision loss, and memory problems.
Bedridden individuals are those who are unable to get out of bed or move around without assistance. This can be due to a variety of medical conditions, including neurological conditions like stroke, advanced age, or serious injury.
