Are Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease Lethal? A Comprehensive Exploration
Dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, is often mischaracterized in terms of lethality as it leads to complications that can be fatal rather than being a direct cause of death; it causes a progressive decline in cognitive and physical health, making patients vulnerable to infections and other health crises. Effective management of nutrition, hydration, and communication is crucial in patient care, with palliative care becoming vital in advanced stages to enhance comfort and quality of life while caregivers play a key role amidst the challenges posed by the disease.
