I completely understand how dementia is horrific in that it eliminates a persons mental faculties causing them to forget anyone and everything they knew, but what/why does it eventually cause death? Is it because their body “forgets” how to function or what?
Side note: maybe I’m wrong in assuming that everyone will die once diagnosed? Is their a spectrum for this?
In: Biology
Eventually you forgot things like how to swallow properly or cough. Eventually that will lead to respiratory infections.
