Dementia is a brain disease, which degenerates the short term memory. There is no cure as on date. It is not easy to look after dementia patients. We need to observe their behavior, and then apply suitable strategy. We can't convince a dementia patient, in a discussion, as to, 'who is right or wrong'; all we can do is to divert his/her thoughts. It is not easy, even to divert thoughts of dementia patients. The helpers to dementia patients have to bear with lot of mental stress.
