Dementia is currently irreversible and a terminal disease which is not visible physically, but it will have a physical impact on the person with dementia. Unlike other illnesses, it is difficult to detect sometimes, due to common cultural misconception that it is due to ‘old age’. This mentality creates a delay in getting the correct treatment and support, which leads to faster progression of the disease.
