Dementia, also known as senility, is a broad category of brain diseases that cause a long term and often gradual decrease in the ability to think and remember that is great enough to affect a person's daily functioning. Other common symptoms include emotional problems, problems with language, and a decrease in motivation. A person's consciousness is usually not affected. A dementia diagnosis requires a change from a person's usual mental functioning and a greater decline than one would expect due to aging. These diseases also have a significant effect on a person's caregivers.
The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer's disease, which makes up 50% to 70% of cases. Other common types include vascular dementia (25%), Lewy body dementia (15%), and frontotemporal dementia. Less common causes include normal pressure hydrocephalus, Parkinson's disease, syphilis, and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease among others. More than one type of dementia may exist in the same person. A small proportion of cases run in families. In the DSM-5, dementia was reclassified as a neurocognitive disorder, with various degrees of severity. Diagnosis is usually based on history of the illness and cognitive testing with medical imaging and blood work used to rule out other possible causes. The mini mental state examination is one commonly used cognitive test. Efforts to prevent dementia include trying to decrease risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, and obesity. Screening the general population for the disorder is not recommended.
Le Dernier des fous (also titled The Last of the Crazy People and Demented) is a 2006 French drama film directed by Laurent Achard. It won the Best Direction Award at the Locarno International Film Festival.
It all starts with a beating heart
Disturbed by loss but saved by trust
Trust is not enough
I thought we had some relation these
Ties aren't what they seem
What they seem
Wait wait we found our voice
This is more than noise
Demented from our past
This song keeps me
From a heart attack
We're overcome with sorrow but together
We stand tall oh so tall
Tragedy won't knock us over we fight
Until we fall until we fall
Wait wait we found our voice
This is more than noise
Demented from our past
This song keeps me
From a heart attack [x2]
It's more than fucking noise!
This is all we have
These words these chords
Is our cure
They gets us through the hard times and
Show us whats worth living for
Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey
Wait wait we found our voice
This is more than noise
Demented from our past
This song keeps me
From a heart attack
Wait wait we found our voice
This is more than noise
Demented from our past
This song keeps me from a heart attack
Wait wait we found our voice
This is more than noise
Demented from our past
This song keeps me
