A primary criterion for diagnosing dementia is the presence of a significant decline in cognitive function, affecting memory, thinking, and reasoning skills that interfere with daily life and activities. This decline must represent a change from a previous level of functioning and cannot be attributed to other medical conditions. Additionally, symptoms should be evident in multiple cognitive domains, such as language, attention, and problem-solving.
