I fear I am not in my perfect mind. Me thinks I should know you, and know this man; Yet I am doubtful; for I am mainly ignorant What place this is; and all the skill I have Remembers not these garments; nor I know not Where I did lodge last night. . . . . . .

The condition which was faced by King Lear in the classic tragedy by William Shakespeare is the classic example of the greatest fear that a person can have. The most frightening thoughts are that one day you will not recognize your loved ones, gradually you will not be able to perform the most basic tasks of life, the worst of all is that you know of breakdown or corrosion of your mind but you cannot help to stop it. You feel as if you are drowning ad shouting for help and nobody is listening to you. You are swept away in a world where everything seems so strange as if you are not a part of this world, or as if people are alien.

This is not as simple as ordinary forgetting, but this is first step to the worst mental deterioration called “Dementia”, or in lay man terms “senility”.

In the early stage, the worsening may be seen in terms of reminiscence destruction such as complexity registering the in progress events. For example, people possibly will retain information on how to talk, might also remember the past events but has complexity remembering the occasion that happened justan hour ago. With that, they also misplace their standards of organized or communal inhibitions; they may use impolite language, tell out-of-place jokes, steal, and may make sexual advances to strangers.

You must not have the notion that this condition will improve with time because as time passes the condition will only worsen. The person will lose the orientation of time, place or person. The person will not even remember the day of the week, day of the month, month, or even what year it is. Similarly, he will forget about who he is and where he is . Because the person will have no memory of the address where he lives, he will often get lost. He will not be able to take care of himself with regards to hygiene or grooming; dressing becomes inappropriate to seasonsand at times embarrassing too .

The route of the confusion can either be progressive as in the Alzheimer (a type of cementing disarray), or steady in the case of a head injury or trauma.

Although the age of the onset of this problem may vary according to the aetiology, however, it is mostly started at the age of sixty. This problem may double every five years of age, starting with 0.8 per cent at age 65 and rising up to around 30 per cent by age 90.

This disorder is the major concern of people who are reaching this age and this problem has been on the rise around the globe in the recent years. There is no doubt that this is one of the most devastating neuropsychiatry conditions, which demands most means-tested care funding, both in the residential care and the nursing homes care. The patient is not the only one being affected from this problem; his family suffers along with him.
