Dementia is a complex neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, impacting millions of individuals worldwide. This comprehensive review delves into various aspects of dementia, including its pathophysiology, pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, caregiver support, ethical considerations, and global perspectives. The pathophysiology of dementia involves intricate mechanisms such as amyloid-beta accumulation, tau hyperphosphorylation, alpha-synuclein aggregation, vascular alterations, and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. While pharmacological interventions aim to alleviate symptoms, non-pharmacological approaches like cognitive stimulation therapy, physical exercise, music therapy, and reminiscence therapy offer promising avenues for enhancing quality of life. Ethical considerations in dementia care encompass autonomy, informed consent, end-of-life care, dignity preservation, and resource allocation. Addressing these ethical challenges requires person-centered approaches and ongoing dialogue among stakeholders. Global perspectives on dementia highlight epidemiological trends, cultural variations, healthcare systems, caregiver perspectives, and research innovations. Collaborative efforts are essential to tackle the multifaceted challenges posed by dementia and improve outcomes on a global scale. This review provides valuable insights into the current landscape of dementia research, treatment, and care, emphasizing the need for holistic approaches that prioritize individual well-being and dignity.
