En la jerga popular todo ser humano con alteración mental grave o "locura" es calificado como demente. En medicina denominamos demencia al proceso patológico caracterizado por un deterioro global de la función intelectual que se inicia en la vida adulta e interfiere can la función familiar y social de la persona. EI curso de este síndrome es generalmente progresivo e irreversible y no afecta el estado de conciencia del individuo sino en fases terminales de la enfermedad. Con el aumento en la expectativa de vida alcanzado en las últimas décadas en todo el mundo, se ha visto un notorio incremento de la incidencia y prevalencia de las demencias, ya que su frecuencia es alta en los mayores de 65 años. Los efectos del declinar cognoscitivo que sufren los pacientes imponen una carga devastadora a sus familiares y a la sociedad.
