Nigerian really need to be educated on this issue. Dementia can be cursed by lots of medical issues, e.g low fluids in d body, acidental head injury, truamatic life experience, family history, stroke etc. Some can be acute or parmanent. From personal experience and having a family member who is dealing with this illness, in Nigeria, most people will refare to it as spiritual problem or the individual is suffering from his evil past, so back in the village instead of seeking medical or psychiatic help for this individual, they ar subjected to brutal & crude processes totally opposite of the exact help that is needed.

The elderly people do not have dementia in Nigeria. They do have instead loss of memory at times. The elderly ones in Nigeria are die-hard people. They are usually strong till death.
scrap, dementia affected any race

Well, from my own perspective, everybody - Asian, Aussie, American, Australian, European, Africans have some element of madness. wether young or old, but for the sake of clarity...I'll split it in two - whites and Blacks. While White people have Emotional Madness, Black people have Hardship Madness. I rest my case!
GOOD COMMENT

Hi there
In relation to your research, as far as I know, Africans don't suffer from dementia. I have worked with patients from different part of the world and i have never come across any Africans with dementia, is not part of our genetics. Africans are more likely to have cardiac problems such as hypertension, heart failure and more recently they are lots of Africans with gestational diabetics , type 1 and type 2 diabetics but in terms of neurological problems, Nigerians and Africans in general don't have Dementia.
GO BACK AND RESEARCH, DEMENTIA IS LOSS OF MEMORY AT OLD AGE.  IT HAPPENS MOSTLY IN AFRICA.

this post has little or no basical investigation/research,first u need not to throw a question to general nigerians , u do ur research, come down to nigeria or africa to clearify ur dementia question, again alzheime and parkinson re mostly surffered by europeans,americans . 80% of those suffering it  is do to too much emotional crackdown while nigerian men and women can easily get over emotional crack down n move on life
