My father is always forgetting... has he got DEMENTIA?

Dementia is a neurocognitive condition that affects people over 60 years of age.  It is characterized by short-term memory loss, confusion, sleep reversal, and odd behaviour.

Find out more about dementia in an earlier article of mine that was published in Deccan Herald.  Also read about the effects of meditation on ageing.  A recommended book on end-of-life care is Being Mortal.
