It is widely accepted that dementia is a neurological condition caused by physical damage to the brain. However, recent studies have looked into how psychological and emotional factors can contribute to the progression of the disease. Studies have found that people who experience higher levels of stress, depression, and anxiety are more likely to develop dementia than those who do not. Additionally, negative thinking patterns and distorted beliefs may also contribute to a person's cognitive impairment. It is important to note that while psychosomatic factors may play a role in dementia development and progression, they should not be seen as the cause of the condition. Rather, these factors should be seen as an additional layer of complexity to the disease process that can be addressed through lifestyle changes and psychotherapy.✨
