Dementia is not a normal part of aging and is marked by deficits in cognitive function such as memory loss, language problems, and changes in mood and behavior. While dementia can be a symptom of Alzheimer's disease, it is not the main cause. Progressive neuronal loss associated with aging may contribute to dementia, but it is not the sole cause.
