Dementia is a cruel thing
It took a humour ‘friend’
Who brought much fun and laughter
What a cruel end

What is dementia?

Dementia is a broad term used to describe the gradual loss of someone’s memory, intellect, ability to think rationally and social skills. Dementia is not one specific disease, but a collection of symptoms of a long-term brain disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease or vascular dementia.
