'''Dementia''' is a severe [[psychology|psychological]] [[disease]] more commonly known as ''clinical insanity''. It involves an accelerated deterioration of higher [[brain]] functions such as [[memory]], [[concentration]], [[reading]], [[speaking]], [[writing]], multi-tasking, and basic [[mathematics]] skills. Organizational abilities and social [[behavior]] are also affected. These [[symptom]]s can make a healthy-looking person seem disoriented, slow, and sporadic.
Dementia is a purely mental disease; there are no physical symptoms. Psychologists diagnose the disease by administering a test. There is no cure and the main form of treatment is heavy [[sedition]] with drugs such as [[lithium]].
A disproportionate number of prominent [[scientist]]s and [[mathematician]]s have suffered from dementia and other serious psychological diseases such as [[schizophrenia]], [[bipolar disorder]], and [[paranoia]]. It is unclear what causes such mental diseases to appear in this [[demographic]], though a compelling theory has been [[Atheism and Mental and Physical Health|proposed]].
