Dementia describes an overall decline in memory and other cognitive skills severe enough to reduce a person’s ability to perform everyday activities. The progressive and persistent deterioration of cognitive function characterizes it. Affected patients often have memory loss and a partial or significant lack of insight into their deficits. This activity reviews the evaluation and management of dementia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in caring for patients with this condition. It also reviews risk factors, pathophysiology, and challenges in diagnosing and managing this spectrum of cognitive disorders.
