Dementia is a name given to a group of symptoms which result from failing brain functions. The major signs are memory loss, confusion, disorientation and lessening of intellectual functioning. We all forget things from time to time, perhaps a little more so as we age, but the loss of memory with dementia is different. It is persistent and progressive, not just occasional. It means losing a job. It means forgetting to light the gas. It means not being able to find one's way. Eventually it means forgetting how to dress, how to attend to personal hygiene or even how to finish a sentence. Q. What causes dementia?

DEMENTIA 13 aka THE HAUNTED AND THE HUNTED Rating USA. 1963. Cast Luana Anders (Louise Haloran), William Campbell (Richard Haloran), Bert Patton (Billy Haloran), Patrick Magee (Justin Caleb), Mary Mitchell (Kane), Eithne Dunn (Lady Haloran) Plot Members of the Haloran family gather at the ancestral Irish castle to attend the annual commemoration of the death of Kathleen, a daughter of the family who drowned in the lake six years earlier. After John Haloran dies of a heart-attack, his wife Louise dumps his body in the lake and then pretends that he has returned to New York, needing to maintain the pretence that he is alive in order to claim the family inheritance. She then begins an elaborate ruse to convince Lady Haloran that the late daughter is still alive and trying to communicate with her. But her deception is discovered and Louise is decapitated by an axe-wielding killer, who then proceeds to start killing the rest of the family. These days Francis Ford Coppola is one of the finest directors in the world with spectacularly imaginative, epic sized and occasionally topplingly indulgent works like The Godfather (1972) and sequels

Is there any treatment? What is the prognosis? What research is being done? ... Related NINDS Publications and Information What is Dementia With Lewy Bodies? Is there any treatment? Scientists continue to search for a specific course of therapy for people with dementia with Lewy bodies. Treatment is symptomatic, often involving the use of medication to control the parkinsonian and psychiatric symptoms. However, patients should be aware that antiparkinsonian medication that may help to reduce tremor and loss of muscle movement may actually worsen such symptoms as hallucinations and delusions. Similarly, neuroleptic drugs prescribed for psychiatric symptoms may in fact markedly worsen the movement symptoms. In general atypical antipsychotic medications are more successful than older drugs such as haloperidol. What is the prognosis?
