The most common cause of dementia is tangling and bunching of the tiny fibers in the brain. A few centuries ago the condition that struck many elderly people was considered to be old age mental disease. At present, it is recognized as Alzheimer’s dementia, and treated with Namenda.

Tangling and bunching of fibers in the brain causes dementia. Before, this condition that affected several elderly people was considered to be old age mental condition. Now, it is known as Alzheimer’s dementia, and is being treated with Exelon.

Alzheimer’s disease has become a common condition among the elderly. It is however, not limited to the aged alone. Five percent of those affected are in their forties and fifties. It is not know why someone in the younger age group would develop the disease. Perhaps in time the cause of brain cell dysfunction will be discovered, but until that time, many will continue losing hope due to a dementia. Possibility for cure may not be on the immediate horizon, but Razadyne, a drug specifically developed for dementia patients is a valuable step in the right direction.
