Senile dementia is the progressive weakening of the mental faculties of an individual. He is senile when dementia increases with age. The cause is not really known. Everyone of a venerable age is not necessarily senile.
About 30% of people suffering from senile dementia degenerative. Mental confusion, loss of memory for recent events and disorientation are some symptoms that evolve gradually.
About 20% of people suffer from vascular dementia. We observed in these individuals, among others, slow intellect, mood disorders, language disorders and reflexes.
There are also other forms of dementia such as depression (loneliness, anxiety, self-contempt) and the transference neurosis (phobias, insecurity, anxiety).
In some people, the natural aging is unusually early, encouraging the emergence of degenerative diseases, including senile dementia.
Some suggest that isolation, inactivity or made to feel useless cause would contribute to the onset of senile dementia. The exercise, like walking, is a great way to deceive inactivity. To prevent dementia, it is suggested to provide physical and intellectual activities for retirement.
