Dementia is not a single disease, but diseases caused by abnormal brain changes are grouped under the general term "dementia". To get a better understanding of dementia and its definition, see the learning material below. By clicking on the narrow on the right side, you go to the next slide. Sometimes the slides are interactive, so you can click on the interactive buttons that appear.

Think about the topic that you just have learnt and create a mindmap about everything you currently know about dementia:

What is it?
What affects and impacts does it have?
What causes it?
What else do you know?

Add your keywords to the padlet below by clicking on the '+' button in each colom. If you study together with your course mate, compare the keywords and have a discussion about it. You can keep this mindmap handy throughout the course as a reminder and feel free to add keywords as you learn more about this topic.
